#Altmetchat with Dr Sam Illingworth & Altmetric

Dr Sam Illingworth (@SamIllingworth) had a live twitter chat with Altmetric (@altmetric). Altmetric tracks the online conversations and social media posts sparked by articles in peer reviewed journals. This produces an alternative metric (Altmetric!) to journal impact factors and citations. Sam and Altmetric discussed science communication and Sam’s current projects (he’s very busy!)
