Altmetrics provide alternative measures of impact beyond traditional citations by tracking attention on social media and other platforms. They can provide faster insights than citations, which take time to accumulate, and can measure impact on audiences beyond academics. However, altmetrics also have limitations as coverage varies by discipline and not all attention translates to citations or impact. Social media mentions have been shown to correlate with early citations and downloads, helping measure alternative concepts of impact.

Social media activity either increases citations or reflects the underlying qualities of the article that also predict citations, but the true use of these metrics is to measure the distinct concept of social impact.
- 16. Conclusion: We also find that the volume of Twitter mentions is statistically correlated with arXiv downloads and early citations just months after the publication of a preprint, with a possible bias that favours highly mentioned articles.
