Abstract: Abstract This study assessed the influence of academic articles in five Asian countries—South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, and China—using altmetrics, an emerging method of complementing traditional ways of evaluating academic performance on the social media. In particular, the present study examined altmetric mentions of academic papers on social media using the Quadruple Helix by classifying the data into four spaces: innovation, knowledge, consensus, and government. The research questions were posed concerning the types of online social media in which academic articles were mentioned most frequently in Asia. Further, the prominent disciplines featured in the salient academic papers were investigated through an assessment using altmetrics.
