'Social media metrics' are bursting into science studies as emerging new measures of impact related to scholarly activities. However, their meaning and scope metrics is still far from being grasped. This research seeks shift focus the consideration social around mere indicators confined analysis use visibility publications on interaction circulation scientific knowledge across different communities attention, particularly that can also be used characterize these communities. Although recent...

Abstract Scientific articles available in Open Access (OA) have been found to attract more citations and online attention the extent that it has become common speak about OA Altmetrics Advantage. This research investigates how Advantage holds for a specific case of articles, namely outputs from universities Finland. Furthermore, this examines disciplinary platform differences (dis)advantage. The new methodological approaches developed focus on relative visibility, i.e. often journals receive...

The reward system of science is undergoing significant changes, as traditional indicators compete with initiatives that offer novel means disseminating and assessing scholarly impact. This article considers a number aspects this system, including authorship, citations, acknowledgements the growing use social media platforms by academics, an eye towards identifying contemporary issues relating to communication practices, understood through perspectives Bourdieu’s symbolic capital Merton’s...

This study examines a range of factors associated with future citation and altmetric counts to paper. The include journal impact factor, individual collaboration, international institution prestige, country research funding, abstract readability, length, title number cited references, field size, type will be modeled in association counts, Mendeley readers, Twitter posts, Facebook blog news posts. results demonstrate that eight are important for increased seven different three six five...

Because Twitter and other social media are increasingly used for analyses based on altmetrics, this research sought to understand what contexts, affordance use, activities influence the tweeting behavior of astrophysicists. Thus, presented study has been guided by three questions that consider astrophysicists’ (i.e., publishing frequency) their tweet construction use (i.e. hashtags, language, emotions) conversational connections they have Twitter. We found astrophysicists communicate with a...

Abstract The role played by research scholars in the dissemination of scientific knowledge on social media has always been a central topic metrics (altmetrics) research. Different approaches have implemented to identify and characterize active platforms like Twitter. Some limitations past were their complexity and, most importantly, reliance licensed scientometric altmetric data. emergence new open data sources such as OpenAlex or Crossref Event Data provides opportunities using only This...

This paper analyzes the tweeting behavior of 37 astrophysicists on Twitter and compares their with publication citation impact to show whether they tweet research-related topics or not. Astrophysicists are selected compare tweets publications from Web Science. Different user groups identified based frequency. A moderate negative correlation (p=-0.390*) is found between number per day, while retweet rates do not correlate. The similarity abstracts very low (cos=0.081). User different such as...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to show that there were differences in the use Twitter by professors at AAU schools. Affordance differed between personal and professional tweets as categorized turkers. Framing behaviors described could impact interpretation audience members.

Students and faculty have always interacted informally, on campus off. Social networking sites (SNSs), like Facebook, introduce another space in which they interact, contributing to a blurring of boundaries between professional personal personas. Communications SNSs may be seen as simply an extension on- off-campus lives, hence fall under the same policies governing institutional codes conduct. The medium however, allowing for capture broadcast events academic everyday merits special...

The expectation that scientific research should provide answers to societal issues and support institutional decision-making is increasing, but still there are no systematic methods of identifying measuring the wider impacts research. In this article, various views on meaning impact, different types impact or influence can have society, potential altmetrics capture measure will be discussed.

With the acceleration of scholarly communication in digital era, publication year is no longer a sufficient level time aggregation for bibliometric and social media indicators. Papers are increasingly cited before they have been officially published journal issue mentioned on Twitter within days online availability. In order to find suitable proxy day allowing computation more accurate benchmarks fine-grained citation event windows, various dates compared set 58,896 papers by Nature...

Conservation of long-distance migratory species poses unique challenges. Migratory connectivity, that is, the extent to which groupings individuals at breeding sites are maintained in wintering areas, is frequently used evaluate population structure and assess use key habitat areas. However, for with complex or variable annual cycle movements, this traditional bimodal framework connectivity may be overly simplistic. Like many other waterfowl, sea ducks often travel specific pre-...

In the context of altmetrics, tweets have been discussed as potential indicators immediate and broader societal impact scientific documents. However, it is not yet clear to what extent Twitter captures actual research impact. A small case study (Thelwall et al., 2013b) suggests that journal articles neither comment on nor express any sentiments towards publication, which merely disseminate bibliographic information, often even automatically. This analyses for a large representative set...
