| description |
This article presents the meanings that a group of international experts attribute to altmetrics as instruments of scientific evaluation and components of a future Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) Policy in Latin America. A descriptive qualitative methodology is applied and information is collected through semi-structured interviews with researchers from Chile, Argentina, Peru, Colombia, Spain, and the United States; experts in altmetrics; information metrics and/or information policies. The results show that altmetrics strengthen their value when analyzed together with other indicators, since they do not measure the impact or quality of research on their own, but provide novel and relevant data of rapid accumulation, broad disciplinary scope and diverse origin, promoting the use of new channels of scientific communication. Some of the most useful altmetrics indicators are the mentions to public policies, invention patents, and social platforms of high use in the region, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Mendeley; indicators of linkage with the environment, peer review, and other qualitative criteria are also relevant. It is recommended to integrate quantitative and qualitative criteria into Latin American STI policies, which should also be adjusted to local realities and budgets. |

A descriptive qualitative methodology is applied and information is collected through semi-structured interviews with researchers from Chile, Argentina, Peru, Colombia, Spain, and the United States; experts in altmetrics; information metrics and/or information policies. The results show that altmetrics strengthen their value when analyzed together with other indicators, since they do not measure the impact or quality of research on their own, but provide novel and relevant data of rapid accumulation, broad disciplinary scope and diverse origin, promoting the use of new channels of scientific communication.

El presente artículo estudia los significados que la comunidad científica internacional atribuye a las altmetrics como instrumentos de evaluación científica y componentes de una futura Política de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación (CTI) en Latinoamérica. Se aplica una metodología cualitativa de tipo descriptiva y se recoge la información mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas realizadas a investigadores de Chile, Argentina, Perú, Colombia, España y Estados Unidos, expertos en altmetría, métricas de información y/o políticas de información. Los resultados arrojan que las altmetrics fortalecen su valor analizándose junto a otros indicadores, ya que no miden por sí solas el impacto o calidad de la investigación, pero aportan noveles y relevantes datos de rápida acumulación, amplio alcance disciplinar y diverso origen, promoviendo el uso de nuevos canales de comunicación científica. Algunos de los indicadores altmétricos más provechosos, son las menciones en políticas públicas, en patentes de invención y en plataformas sociales de alto uso en la región, como Facebook, Twitter y Mendeley; indicadores de vinculación con el entorno, revisión por pares y otros criterios cualitativos también son relevantes. Se recomienda integrar los criterios cuantitativos y cualitativos en las políticas de CTI latinoamericanas, las cuales deben, además, ajustarse a las realidades y presupuestos locales. application/pdf text/html http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/10075 10.34096/ics.i45.10075 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/10075/9629 http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/10075/9694 Derechos de autor 2021 Información, cultura y sociedad https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ Información, cultura y sociedad; Núm. 45 (2021): Diciembre; 75-94 Información, cultura y sociedad; No 45 (2021): Diciembre; 75-94 1851-1740 1514-8327 Altmetrics Research policy Scientific assessment Scientific communication Metric studies of information Altmetrics Política de investigación Evaluación científica Comunicación científica Estudios métricos de información Transforming scientific evaluation in Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) policies in Latin America and the Caribbean.
