“…There are many health science researches considering altmetrics to evaluate their resources on the Internet (Chang et al , 2019; Zhang et al , 2019; Barakat and et al , 2018; Furnas, 2018; Walsh, 2018; Konkiel, 2017). Similar studies have been conducted in Iran (Bazrafshan et al , 2015; Kolahi et al , 2019), Egypt (El-Khouly, 2015), Malaysia (Olanrewaju and Ahmad, 2018), Nigeria (Sugimoto et al , 2017), Pakistan (Ahmad et al , 2018) and Turkey (Akbulut, 2016).…”

PurposeAltmetrics is a complementary method in scientometrics for evaluating the performance of individuals, organizations, institutions and countries in social media. Due to the large volume of data related to the interactions in science, technology and innovation, there is no choice but to develop and implement accurate models for analysis and decision making. The Quadruple Helix Model examines the scientific outcomes in four spaces of innovation, knowledge, consensus and government with a distinctive attention to the “innovation space”. In other words, it aims to find the connection between the academic space and other sectors of a society (public, media and government) to see if scientific outputs respond appropriately to their needs.Design/methodology/approachThe present paper studied the impact of health-related researches in D8 countries) including Iran, Turkey, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Egypt and Nigeria) using the Altmetrics scores of their indexed journal in the Web of Science (WOS). The results demonstrated distribution of interactions of the mentioned four spaces in health science researches in terms of social media, geographical distribution and theme for D8 countries. This was conducted using content analysis, scientometric and altmetric indicators in the WOS and Altmetrics.com databases.FindingsIn D8 countries, more interaction has taken place in the knowledge and innovation spaces; however, there exist Quadruple imbalances in these countries. Moreover, some interactions have been observed in all social networks, displaying that users consider health topics in D8 countries, and clinical sciences has gotten more interaction in all the four spaces.Originality/valueThe application of this model using altmetrics data with current approach has been conducted for the first time.

“…Likewise, there was no significant correlation reported for original research articles published in highimpact general medicine journals, 26 Cardiovascular field, 27 dentistry 28 Radiology 16 and Iranian medical journals. 29 In contrast, in a large-scale survey, the significant correlation was reported between six altmetric resources (tweets, Facebook wall posts, research highlights, blog mentions, mainstream media mentions and forum posts) and citation counts. 30 Among six PLOS specialized journals, significant positive correlation reported between the normalized altmetric scores and normalized citations.…”

“…Popular Cochrane systematic reviews received a high citation rate (mean: 42.1), however, there was no significant correlation between citations and altmetric score. Likewise, no significant correlation was reported between citations and altmetric score for original research articles published in high-impact general medicine journals (Barakat et al 2019), the cardiovascular field (Barakat et al 2018), dentistry (Delli et al 2017), radiology (Rosenkrantz et al 2017), and Iranian medical journals (Kolahi et al 2019a). In contrast, a large-scale survey indicated significant correlation between six altmetric resources (tweets, Facebook wall posts, research highlights, blog mentions, mainstream media mentions, and forum posts) and citation counts (Thelwall et al 2013).…”

We aimed to analyze and visualize the science map of Cochrane systematic reviews (CSR) with high Altmetric attention scores (AAS). On 10 May 2019, the Altmetric data of the CSR Database were obtained from the Altmetric database (Altmetric LLP, London, UK). Bibliometric data of the top 5% of CSR were extracted from the Web of Science. Keyword co-occurrence, co-authorship, and co-citation network analysis were then employed using VOSviewer software. A Random forest model was used to analyze the citation patterns. A total of 12016 CSR with AAS were found (Total mentions: 259968) with Twitter being the most popular Altmetric resource. Consequently, the top 5% (607 articles, mean AAS: 171.2, 95% confidence level (CL): 14.4, mean citations: 42.1, 95%CL: 1.3) with the highest AAS were included in the study. Keyword co-occurrence network analysis revealed female, adult, and child as the most popular keywords. Helen V. Worthington (University of Manchester, Manchester, UK), and the University of Oxford and UK had the greatest impact on the network at the author, organization and country levels respectively. The co-citation network analysis revealed that The Lancet and CSR database had the most influence on the network. However, AAS were not correlated with citations (r=0.15) although they were correlated with policy document mentions (r=0.61). The results of random forest model confirmed the importance of policy document mentions. Despite the popularity of CSR in the Twittersphere, disappointingly, they were rarely shared and discussed within the new academic tools that are emerging, such as F1000 prime, Publons, and PubPeer. Keywords: Bibliometrics, Database, Social Media, Systematic Reviews Article Highlights The CSR database was most mentioned in Twitter. Twitter and News act as the greatest prominent issues regarding altmetric scores.

“…This finding may be explained by the retrospective nature of CSRs which was also reported in the field of Dentistry, [13,[35][36][37] Endodontology [38] and Iranian medical journals. [39] Citation analysis is considered an important part of scientometric research. In contrast to the conventional methods of classic citation analysis, which provide limited information, co-citation network analysis can illustrate patterns, trends and association through visualization of a set of multiplex citation data.…”

The present study aimed to analyze and visualize the science map of Cochrane systematic reviews (CSRs) with high Altmetric attention score (AAS). On 2020-07-29, the altmetric data of the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were obtained from the Altmetric database (Altmetric LLP, London, UK). Bibliometric data of the top 5% AAS of CSRs were extracted from the Web of Science. Keyword co-occurrence, co-authorship and co-citation network analyses were then employed using VOSviewer software. The random forest model was used to rank the importance of the altmetric resource. A total of 11222 CSRs with AAS were found (Total mentions: 305265), with Twitter being the most popular Altmetric resource. Consequently, the top 5% AAS (649 articles, mean AAS: 204.95, 95% confidence level: 18.95, mean citations: 123.68, 95% confidence level: 13.9) were included. Density mapping revealed female, adult and child as the most popular author keywords. According to network visualization, Helen V. Worthington (University of Manchester, Manchester, UK), the University of Oxford and UK had the greatest impact on the network at the author, organization and country levels respectively. AAS were weekly correlated with citations (r s =0.21) although citations were moderately correlated with policy document and blog mentions (r s =0.46 and r s =0.43). Cochrane systematic reviews received high levels of online attention, particularly in the Twittersphere and mostly from the UK. However, CSRs were rarely publicized and discussed using recently developed academic tools, such as F1000 prime, Publons and PubPeer.
