The star formation rate (SFR) is one of the main parameters used to analyze the evolution of galaxies through time. Integral field spectroscopy (IFS) is clearly the way to overcome this kind of limitation. We obtain integrated Halpha, ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR)-based SFR measurements for 272 galaxies from the C ALIFA survey at 0.005 < z < 0.03 using single-band and hybrid tracers. We aim to determine whether the extinction-corrected Halpha luminosities provide a good measure of the SFR and to shed light on the origin of the discrepancies between tracers. In the local Universe, the Halpha luminosity derived from IFS observations can be used to measure SFR, at least in statistically-significant, optically-selected galaxy samples, once stellar continuum absorption and dust attenuation effects are accounted for. The analysis of the SFR calibrations by galaxies properties could potentially be used by other works to study the impact of different selection criteria in the SFR values derived, and to disentangle selection effects from other physically motivated differences, such as environmental or evolutionary effects.
