Jean Liu is data curator and blog editor at Altmetric LLP, and Euan Adie is the founder. They can be reached at http://altmetric.com. D riven by the development of new tools for measuring scholarly attention, altmetrics constitute a burgeoning new area of information science. It is an exciting time to be involved in the field since there are so many opportunities to contribute in innovative ways. We develop altmetrics tools and related services at Altmetric LLP, a small London-based start-up founded in 2011 [1]. Like all developers of new altmetrics tools, we frequently encounter challenges in defining what should be measured, accurately collecting attention from disparate sources and making sense of the huge amount of compiled data. We outline five of these challenges in this piece, illustrating them with examples from our experience. It is worth noting that the altmetrics community as a whole comes together regularly to discuss these and other issues, with two open workshops held in 2012 and more planned for the future.
