abstract = {The development of alternative indicators (altmetrics) can
be traced back to a discussion a few years ago where the
central question was: does the focus on classical
bibliometric indicators still adequately reflect the
scientific and social significance of scientific work in the
Internet age? In the course of this discussion, the term
“altmetrics” was introduced as a collective term for all
those indicators that contain previously unnoticed
information from the Internet — especially concerning
social media. Altmetrics shed light on the reception of
scientific publications in news websites as well as in
scientific blogs, policy papers, and other web-based
content. This chapter deals with the current state of the
art of altmetrics, focusing on the present discussion about
the informative value of altmetrics. Furthermore, we
investigate to what extent altmetrics can be used in
scientific evaluations. We conclude our chapter with an
outlook on the potential prospects for success of altmetrics
in different fields of application},
