English Translation (Google): Are Altmetrics a useful source of information for research funding organizations? A joint investigation by SNF and FWF

"Research funding organizations such as the SNSF (Switzerland) or the FWF (Austria) are increasingly faced with the challenge of demonstrating the success of their research. The success within the scientific system (Scientific Impact) is usually examined by bibliometric analyzes, which, however, are restricted to specific types of publications and are not equally well suited for all disciplines (Moed, 2005). To register the success and the perception of sponsored research outside the scientific system (Societal Impact) is just as important for the promotion organization, but it is much more difficult. Can Altmetrics offer a solution approach?"
