Σύνοψη	Emergence detection in bibliometrics is a family of text-mining and bibliometric methods for spotting emerging research topics and technologies early, by analysing the dynamics of terms, citations, and references in publication streams. It combines burst-detection algorithms that flag sudden surges in usage with operational criteria for what makes a topic genuinely 'emerging', turning large scholarly corpora into early signals of scientific and technological change.	Altmetrics (alternative metrics) measure the online attention and societal impact of research by tracking mentions in social media (Twitter), news outlets, policy documents, blogs, videos, and other online sources. Introduced formally in 2010 by Jason Priem and colleagues, altmetrics address limitations of citation-based assessment: citation counts accumulate slowly (taking years for impact to register), do not capture policy influence, and are biased toward certain fields (biomedicine receives more citations than social sciences). Altmetric.com, PlumX, and other platforms now provide real-time data on research reach, complementing traditional journal impact factors and H-indices. While altmetrics should not replace peer-reviewed citations for tenure and promotion, they offer valuable insight into public engagement with research.
