abstract = {The academic literature provides a variety of empirical
studies measuring the research efficiency of universities.
The indicators used are mainly bibliometric values, which
are intended to quantify the dissemination and impact of
university research in the scientific community. Further
objectives of a university's management related to research
activities thatrefer to other stakeholders such as the
interested public are typically not addressed in these
studies. Against this background, the question arises
whether altmetrics are suitable for quantifying such
neglected objectives in order to be used as additional
indicators in multidimensional efficiency analyses. Based on
a framework built on fundamentals of decision theory, the
paper conceptually addresses this question by discussing the
potential of altmetrics to quantify research objectives. It
turns out that only few altmetrics actually meet essential
measurement requirements. The remaining altmetrics are then
used in an empirical study to investigate their impact on
research efficiency of three different research fields by
means of Data Envelopment Analysis. It is shown that the
inclusion of altmetrics, ceterisparibus, does not lead to
any signifi cant changes in the ranking positions of the
universities under consideration.},
