Abstract: [Purpose/significance] With the deepening of research on Altmetrics, it is of great significance to effectively identify the needs of stakeholders in Altmetrics evaluation,which is useful to design the evaluation indicators and construct the data infrastructure. [Method/process] Taking researchers of universities in China mainland as the sampling, this paper used the semi-structured interview to identify the Altmetrics evaluation needs for University researchers in China mainland, and used questionnaire to explore the differences of the identified Altmetrics evaluation needs for University researchers. [Result/conclusion] It is found that there are seven Altmetrics evaluation needs for University researchers in China mainland, which are research evaluation, achievement display, needs discovery, academic recognition, communication and dissemination, achievement operation and discipline development. There are need differences in "research evaluation" for University researchers among different age groups, in which the "research evaluation" needs in 51-60 age groups are clearly lower than the other age groups. Except for "communication", the other six Altmetrics evaluation needs in humanities are lower than the social and natural subjects, and the evaluation needs in social and natural subjects are equal. Except for the needs differences between teachers and students in "research evaluation", the other six Altmetrics evaluation needs are not different in all other different status categories of University researchers. The results show that 7 Altmetrics evaluation needs have high universal applicability.
