Mounce R. Open access and altmetrics: distinct but complementary. Bulletin of the Association for Information Science and Technology 2013;39(4):14-17

Thus, alternative metrics (altmetrics) have arisen to better assess the influence and impact of online journal articles. They are still new, relatively unexplored and underdeveloped. This article considers the complementary relationship between OA journal publishing and altmetrics.
