چکیده

امروزه چگونگی سنجش تأثیر اجتماعی پژوهش در مقایسه با تأثیر علمی آن، چندان روشن نیست. هرچند بررسی های
دقیق و کتاب سنجی ها روشهای استانداردی برای سنجش تأثیر علمی به شمار می روند، لیکن هنوز ساختار قابل
قبولی برای سنجش تأثیر اجتماعی وجود ندارد. سنجه های جایگزین (آلتمتریکس) گزینه های مناسبی برای سنجش
تأثیر اجتماعی پژوهش محسوب می شوند. آلتمتریکس سنجه های مبتنی بر وب را برای تأثیر مقالات و سایر مدارک
علمی با استفاده از داده های رسانه های اجتماعی (همچون توییتر یا مندلی) توصیف می کند.
با این دیدگاه هدف از انجام این مطالعه بررسی توانایی های آلتمتریکس در سنجش تأثیر اجتماعی است. برای
پاسخگویی به این سوال پژوهش که "آلتمتریکس" تا چه حد می تواند برخلاف معیارهای سنتی، تأثیر گسترده تر
پژوهش را اندازه گیری کند؟ با استفاده از روش توصیفی، تعاریف و رده بندی "آلتمتریکس" و نیز مزایا و کاستی های آن
برای سنجش تأثیر، مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. نتایج حاصل نشان داد که در حقیقت سنجه های جایگزین (آلتمتریکس)
می توانند به عنوان مکملی در کنار شاخص های علم سنجی برای بررسی عملکرد پژوهش و اثرگذاری تولیدات علمی
مورد استفاده قرار گیرند.
