• More difficult to understand then the scientific impact– No standard mesures like IF, Scopus, h-Index, etc.
• About the social, there are some notions of “influence” as a measure of impact:– Klout – GALA=46/100
• http://klout.com/#/dashboard
– PeerIndex – GALA=29• http://my.peerindex.com/gameandlearning
– Kred – GALA=664/1000 influence, 4/12 outreach level• http://kred.com/
