“…83 A second study of the 100 most cited articles on retinal diseases published from 2010 to 2020 showed no correlation between score and citation number, and weak correlation with impact factor. 84 These findings are not unexpected, as recency and general publicity do not factor into traditional impact metrics. Another study on glaucoma involved articles selected by Altmetric Attention Score: articles on medical treatment were associated with significantly higher scores, and those that reported modifiable glaucoma risk factors attracted particularly high-online interest.…”

“…In one study related to glaucoma, the score of the 50 most highly cited papers published between 2009 and 2019 showed moderate correlation with citation number, and no correlation with journal impact factor 83 . A second study of the 100 most cited articles on retinal diseases published from 2010 to 2020 showed no correlation between score and citation number, and weak correlation with impact factor 84 .

Social media is being widely used across ophthalmology. Its communication tools have been employed more often by ophthalmologists in private practice than academia, although academic institutions may be more impactful influencers. There are opportunities to promote ophthalmic services and to augment traditional clinical care. Social media provides a medium to disseminate peer-reviewed literature in ophthalmology, and to expand conference experiences. It is used for teaching ophthalmology at medical schools and attracting medical students into ophthalmology training, and for research in ophthalmology. Important considerations when using social media include the required time commitment and the public nature of interactions. The high level of misinformation in medical social media remains a challenge for both ophthalmologists and their patients, and the ophthalmologist can play an active role in addressing the issue. This review considers the role that social media is playing in ophthalmology today, including impact on ophthalmic practice, applications in ophthalmic education and training, and patient-focused networking.

“…The fact that case reports with a low level of scientific evidence compared to others have such a high AAS can be considered a result of the popularity of a disease affecting the public. In the study in which retinal articles in ophthalmology journals were evaluated, it was found that an article on retinal complications of Zika virus had the highest AAS [ 11 ]. In a study in which an altmetric analysis of 100 articles related to COVID-19 was performed, it was reported that the AAS was 3246 ± 3795 (85-16548) [ 12 ].…”

We aimed to evaluate the 50 most-cited articles on uveitis according to their Altmetric Attention Score (AAS) and additional metrics. MethodsThe Web of Science (WoS) core collection database was used in this study. The article and journal metrics and characteristics were examined. In addition, the effect of article and journal metrics on the AAS was examined with multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS). ResultsThe number of citations of the evaluated articles ranged from 670 to 90, and AASs ranged from 633 to 0. According to the MARS model, the importance scores of the predictors were as follows: article influence score (100%), immediacy index (77.74%), number of years since publication (57.79%), times cited in WoS (32.69%). We found that the trend of articles on uveitis was related to the "treatment category", namely, adalimumab. Second, the popular topic was uveitis caused by viruses. ConclusionsWe found that citation-based metrics and year of publication contributed to AAS. AAS appears to be inadequate in assessing the quality of articles. However, due to the electronic transformation of the publishing industry, it seems inevitable that altmetrics will become an additional supportive metric.

“…In ophthalmology, studies have demonstrated a weak to moderate correlation between the AAS and conventional metrics such as the number of citations and H-index. (11)(12)(13) A recent study showed that publications that are promoted on Twitter end up having a higher number of citations than the ones with no tweets. (14) In a study looking into publications from a different specialty (cardiology), Twitter promotion was linked with a 1.12 higher citation rate.…”

The constant evolution of technology is changing the way we live. With the advent of highly developed and robust telecommunication networks, we can instantly communicate and send high-definition images and videos across the globe. According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), almost 85% of the world's population is covered by a 4G network, (1) and phones have become considerably more affordable. These information and communication technologies can play a significant role in providing cost-effective and high-quality dissemination of health information and medical care. Moreover, the way people search for health information has also changed. Nowadays, three out of four Americans are estimated to have turned to internet sources for medical information, with similar rates among Europeans. (2)(3)(4) This environment is particularly fertile for the advance of telemedicine, defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as "the delivery of health care services, where distance is a critical factor, by all health care professionals using information and communication technologies for the exchange of valid information for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease and injuries, research and evaluation." (5) The development of these technologies and their application in telemedicine were already on their way, but the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic accelerated the process.Social media, a form of electronic communication through which users create internet-based communities to share information, is particularly important due to its astounding reach. Facebook, for example, has 2.85 billion active monthly users. (4) When other platforms such as YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok are considered, the number of active users of social media is estimated at 4.2 billion. (6) These platforms allow health professionals, organizations, and patients to interact easily despite geographical barriers, and are already used as valuable medical education tools. Already in 2012, 60% of the State Health Departments in the United States reported using at least one social media channel: 86.7% had Twitter accounts, 56% had Facebook profiles, and 43% had YouTube channels. (7) Health institutions mainly use social media for infoveillance, disseminating health information, and combating misinformation, health intervention, and social mobilization. Social media use by health researchers includes facilitating health-related research, professional development, doctor-patient communication, and offline services. Lastly, the public uses social media to seek and share health-related information, exchange social support in online communities, and track and share health status or activities. (8) Ophthalmology is a primarily visual medical specialty, and it is intrinsically related to technology. That makes it especially suitable for social media, particularly image-based platforms such as Instagram, which 40% of the adult US population uses. (9) Even large organizations such as the American Academy of Ophthalmology ...
