Digital Scholarship has released the Altmetrics Bibliography, which
includes over 50 selected English-language articles and technical
reports that are useful in understanding altmetrics.

The "altmetrics" concept is still evolving. In "The Altmetrics
Collection," Jason Priem, Paul Groth, and Dario Taraborelli define
altmetrics as follows:

"Altmetrics is the study and use of scholarly impact measures based on
activity in online tools and environments. The term has also been used
to describe the metrics themselves—one could propose in plural a "set
of new altmetrics." Altmetrics is in most cases a subset of both
scientometrics and webometrics; it is a subset of the latter in that
it focuses more narrowly on scholarly influence as measured in online
tools and environments, rather than on the Web more generally."

Sources have been published from January 2001 through September 2013.

The bibliography includes links to freely available versions of
included works. If such versions are unavailable, italicized links to
the publishers' descriptions are provided.
