Open science is “the idea that scientific knowledge of all kinds should be openly shared as early as is practical in the discovery process.”

Altmetrics and open science?
Friesike and Schildhauer (2015) suggest that wider range of quantitative indicators of a wider range of impact can be incentivizing for researchers to make their research more accessible, adopting the open science ideology.

Altmetrics
Provide a more nuanced image of the total impact that research has made?
?How are altmetric events distributed between articles in open access journals and other journals?
!Our preliminary results are based on an analysis of how almost 4 million altmetric events are spread between articles in open access journals (as listed by DOAJ) and other journals.
Thank you Euan and Altmetric.com for sharing the data!

Figure 1. Differences between the average number of altmetric events for open access articles and for paid articles. Higher positive values indicate an advantage for open access
articles; higher negative values indicate an advantage for paid articles.
!The results • Twitter (and Facebook to lesser degree)
might be able to reflect the attention of a wider public.
• Mendeley is used mainly by researchers. • A great deal of Wikipedia articles are
written by researchers with paid access to research articles (additional evidence of the high quality of Wikipedia articles?).
