For each article, thementions registered by the Altmetric tool (number,sources, characteristics of the people who shared theinformation) were evaluated, and a ranking of the bestarticles was made. Results: A total of 2934 articlespublished in 18 Colombian journals were evaluated. Atotal of 18.2% had mentions in the network. Most ofthe mentions appeared in Mendeley (73.8%) and Twitter(18.4%). The journals with the highest proportion ofarticles mentioned in Altmetric were Biomédica (61.5%),and Revista Colombiana de Urología (57.4%). 82% of theTwitter accounts that shared the information belonged togeneral public. 46.2% of the users resided in Colombia.Conclusions: Our study suggests that there is room forimprovement in the dissemination of scientific informationon the Internet in general, by authors and biomedicaljournals in Colombia.
