[Purpose/significance] In order to clarify the connotation and significance of the attention, dissemination and utilization of academic achievements in social media, to make a deep analysis of the altmetrics indicators that have been used and can be mined.[Method/process] From the perspective of event ontology, the acts related to academic achievements in social media are abstracted. Starting from the subject, object, product, type, motivation, time, place and resource of the event, the event model of social media is constructed. And the deep analysis of social media events is carried out with Mendeley and Twitter as examples.[Result/conclusion] At present, altmetrics aggregators only provide indicators from some social media events. Through the analysis of social media events and their elements, it is found that some other indicators with academic evaluation value should be included in evaluation system in the future, such as Mendeley group_count, Twitter favorite_count and so on. When using these indicators, it is necessary to evaluate the applicability of indicators in different academic evaluation contexts according to the elements of events. Meanwhile, the methods, frequencies and limitations of data acquisition should be taken into account to ensure the accuracy and scientificity of the indicators.
