Abstract

Altmetrics is gaining importance over the last few years with the birth of newer assessment tools. These metrics solve to answer the assessment issues and depend on a few measures other than publications and citations. Before accepting these measure or using them for evaluation, they need to be studied well. In this paper, the authors have used a few altmetrics measures and correlated them with citation measures and the results are presented in this paper.
