This document discusses alternative metrics (altmetrics) for measuring the impact of scholarly work beyond traditional citations. It mentions Bianca Kramer's work on altmetrics and provides links to resources on the altmetrics manifesto, changes in scientific communication like open access and new forms of peer review, limitations of altmetrics, and examples of individual altmetric profiles. The document aims to introduce altmetrics as a way to track whether scholarly findings are accepted, built upon, spread and cited, applied or purchased.
