The above-mentioned advice will only work if the original research output referenced and discussed on web-based platforms actually has an identifier that helps technical systems find links across entirely different platforms. This not only applies to journal articles, but also to the broad spectrum of scientific output in all its forms. The widest possible use of unique identi-fiers, of which DOIs seem to have been established as a commonly used system (see Chapter 5 “Tools and services”), will help to achieve altmetric results that are more comparable. Adoption and use of unique and persis-tent identifiers for scholarly outputs need to be increased.
