  abstract = {This study investigated the correlation between traditional indicators of Scientometrics and altmetrics. Also, compare quartile ranking based on the journal’saltmetrics scores and quartile ranking based on their JCR impact factor. The Population of this study includes the Journals of library and information science in JCR. “AltmetricExplorer” and JCR databases were used for data gathering. The results of this study showed that “Twitter mentions” ranked first among the platforms used for mentioning. Journal of Strategic Information Systems, International Journal of Geographical Information Science, Government Information Quarterly, and Journal of Knowledge Management gained the most altmetric attention score. Correlation analysis between total citations obtained by any journal with its altmetric attention score showed no correlation between the two of these indicators. Also, the analysis showed a correlation between altmetric attention score and JIF but no correlation between altmetric attention score and immediacy index. According to the findings of this study, if we sort the journals in descending order based on their Altmetric scores, we have quartiles that correlate with their quartiles in JCR. This fact indicates that qualified researches influence the academic society as well as non-academic society, although they are available much faster on social media and hence they are less waste of time. However, it also shows that good publications rank high by any measurement tool.},
