“…As Nikipharou et al [20] already pointed out, social media platforms provide novel ways for opinion sharing, learning and development, which is especially important in times of uncertainties during a pandemic. Notably, social media can effectively increase the impact of scientific [23][24][25][26][27] publications which might be of interest to researchers and scientific journals alike [21]. Social media can direct attention and increase participation for digital crowdsourcing projects, such as the COVID-19 Global Rheumatology Alliance registries or healthcare policy projects.…”

Social media services, such as Twitter, offer great potential for a better understanding of rheumatic and musculoskeletal disorders (RMDs) and improved care in the field of rheumatology. This study examined the content and stakeholders associated with the Twitter hashtag #Covid4Rheum during the COVID-19 pandemic. The content analysis shows that Twitter connects stakeholders of the rheumatology community on a global level, reaching millions of users. Specifically, the use of hashtags on Twitter assists digital crowdsourcing projects and scientific collaboration, as exemplified by the COVID-19 Global Rheumatology Alliance registry. Moreover, Twitter facilitates the distribution of scientific content, such as guidelines or publications. Finally, digital data mining enables the identification of hot topics within the field of rheumatology.

Journal articles that were tweeted in the thoracic surgery social media network received significantly greater Altmetric scores with more citations over time in a 1-year follow-up (Luc et al 2020), a study I learned about from a tweet, arguably reinforcing the study's conclusions. It remains to be seen whether tweeting about journal papers in civil engineering increases citations, but the additional mechanism for getting the word out remains as a useful aspect of Twitter.…”
