Altmetric is not tied to scientific value. It can be used as an interesting metric though but this is a great example of how it fails catastrophically.
- retrogradeorbit 11y agoAre you implying the paper had no scientific value?
- coldtea 11y agoNo, he is saying it openly.
- retrogradeorbit 11y agoImply: indicate the truth or existence of (something) by suggestion rather than explicit reference. Spot the subtle difference. Saying it openly would look like this: "This paper has no scientific value."
