I have been reorganising hard drives and the like and came across this article I wrote on 28 January 2002, in Mexico City, for Mexican electronic music and culture magazine Urbe 01 . I have copied and pasted it below under the photograph. The dedication to Manrico was in the original.

A s it’s that time of the year and Altmetric has released its 2018 Top 100, in this post I share the 2018 Top 100 research outputs with ‘comics’ as a keyword according to Altmetric. I queried the data from the Altmetric Explorer, looking for all outputs with this keyword between 13/12/2017 and 13/12/2018. I then refined the data to concentrate only on the Top 100 outputs about comics.

A re so-called ‘alternative’ metrics documenting attention to outputs from publishers, access types, funders, insitutitons and countries usually invisible via traditional citation metrics?  Another way to put it is, can altmetrics contribute to higher visibility of outputs usually excluded from mainstream metrication?
