Why is it important?
No study has been conducted to date on the altmetrics associated with Pakistani scholars, let alone those specifically from the library and information science discipline.
Perspectives
ResearchGate (RG) has become one of the most popular academic social networking sites (ASNS). The current research has shown that while the uptake by a designated cohort-- Pakistani library and information science scholars-- has been relatively low, the site appears to have offered some benefits for those who have done so. Academic social / scholarly networks can not only expand the reach of this cohort’s publications, but also help them to create a public professional profile.
