December 3, 2025 — Altmetric: Are You OK?
This week, we dive into an unexpected topic — the rather bizarre Bluesky account run by Altmetric.
Altmetric has made some changes lately, including podcasts, so-called sentiment analysis, and Bluesky itself. And their LinkedIn account is much more sober than Bluesky.
But as you experience the Bluesky account, you get a feeling that something is definitely not quite right.
What is going on here? Is some part of Altmetric coming off the rails?
And, with the Impact Factor producing confusing results, is it time to look beyond current metrics?
We also have some book updates and our “Discoveries of the Week.”
