Abstract:  The evaluation of social impact of scientific and technological projects has received global
attention. Altmetrics, as a new evaluation method based on social media, has potential value to be applied
to the evaluation of scientific and technological projects. This paper analyzes the feasibility of introducing
Altmetrics into the evaluation of scientific and technological projects, constructs the social impact
evaluation framework and evaluation method based on Altmetrics, and conducts empirical analysis with
Plum Analytics. The analysis results show that Altmetrics provides new ideas, new ways and new tools for
the evaluation of social impact of scientific and technological projects, which can be used as a supplemental
evaluation method for scientific and technological projects.
