Métricas em nível de autor e plataformas acadêmicas: produção, impacto e disseminação

Abstract

This chapter analyzes the use of traditional and alternative metrics for evaluating scientific production at the author level. Through a scientometric study based on bibliometric, altmetric, and academic platform indicators, it investigates the scientific impact, dissemination, and visibility of a researcher's scholarly output. Indicators obtained from Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Dimensions, ResearchGate, Mendeley, and Altmetric are compared to discuss the strengths and limitations of these metrics for assessing research performance and scholarly communication. The findings demonstrate that combining traditional citation-based metrics with alternative web-based metrics provides a more comprehensive understanding of scientific impact by integrating academic influence with online visibility and public engagement.
