“…Third, there is some evidence showing that high online media attention is highly correlated with access to the scientific article and the number of scholarly citations the scientific article will receive [ 2 ]. Some studies from the fields of clinical pain [ 10 ], urology [ 32 ], neurointerventional surgery [ 33 ] and cardiovascular [ 34 ] and emergency medicine [ 35 ] have shown that disseminating research on social media will increase their access or views to their readers. Highly cited articles can be predicted by tweets occurring within the first 3 days of article publication [ 2 ].…”

BackgroundNew metrics have been developed to assess the impact of research and provide an indication of online media attention and data dissemination. We aimed to describe online media attention of articles evaluating cancer treatments and identify the factors associated with high online media attention.MethodsWe systematically searched MEDLINE via PubMed on March 1, 2015 for articles published during the first 6 months of 2014 in oncology and medical journals with a diverse range of impact factors, from 3.9 to 54.4, and selected a sample of articles evaluating a cancer treatment regardless of study design. Altmetric Explorer was used to identify online media attention of selected articles. The primary outcome was media attention an article received online as measured by Altmetric score (i.e., number of mentions in online news outlets, science blogs and social media). Regression analysis was performed to investigate the factors associated with high media attention, and regression coefficients represent the logarithm of ratio of mean (RoM) values of Altmetric score per unit change in the covariate.ResultsAmong 792 articles, 218 (27.5%) received no online media attention (Altmetric score = 0). The median [Q1–Q3] Altmetric score was 2.0 [0.0–8.0], range 0.0–428.0. On multivariate analysis, factors associated with high Altmetric score were presence of a press release (RoM = 10.14, 95%CI [4.91–20.96]), open access to the article (RoM = 1.48, 95%CI [1.02–2.16]), and journal impact factor (RoM = 1.10, 95%CI [1.07–1.12]. As compared with observational studies, systematic reviews were not associated with high Altmetric score (RoM = 1.46, 95%CI [0.74–2.86]; P = 0.27), nor were RCTs (RoM = 0.65, 95%CI [0.41–1.02]; P = 0.059) and phase I/II non-RCTs (RoM = 0.58, 95%CI [0.33–1.05]; P = 0.07). The articles with abstract conclusions favouring study treatments were not associated with high Altmetric score (RoM = 0.97, 95%CI [0.60–1.58]; P = 0.91).ConclusionsMost important factors associated with high online media attention were the presence of a press release and the journal impact factor. There was no evidence that study design with high level of evidence and type of abstract conclusion were associated with high online media attention.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s41073-017-0033-z) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Normally, publishers actively disseminate journal articles directly to paid subscribers via printed or digital issues, as well as passively listing them online. However, the SoMe revolution and its numerous platforms (such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc) allow both publishers and authors to disseminate content immediately and directly to interested end-users on a global scale 1 . Moreover, SoMe platforms facilitate concise and contemporaneous discussion in the same thread, which might otherwise be relegated to the correspondence section of unrelated journal issues.…”

Background: Social media (SoMe) enables publishers and authors to disseminate content immediately and directly to interested end-users, on a global scale. Alternative metrics (altmetrics) are non-traditional bibliometrics which describe the exposure and impact of an article on freely available platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Wikipedia and the news. Altmetrics are strongly associated with ultimate citation counts in various medical disciplines, except plastic surgery which represents the rational for this study. Methods: Altmetric explorer was used to extract altmetrics and citation rates for articles published during 2018 in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (PRS), the Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, the Annals of Plastics Surgery and Plastic Surgery (also known as Chirurgie Plastique). Multivariable negative binomial regression was used to estimate the relationship between citations and predictors (presented as the incidence rate ratio, IRR with 95% confidence interval, CI). Results: Overall, 1215 plastic surgery articles were captured which were cited 3269 times. There was a strong and independent association between the number of mentions in SoMe and the number of times an article was cited (adjusted IRR 1.01 [95% CI 1.01, 1.1]), whereby each mention in SoMe (e.g. Tweets or Facebook posts) translated to one additional citation. Evidence synthesis articles (e.g. systematic reviews) were cited twice as often as other articles and again, the use of SoMe to advertise these outputs was independently associated with more citations (IRR 2.0 [95% CI 1.3, 3.2]). Conclusions: Dissemination of plastic surgery research through social media channels increases an articles impact as measured by citations.

“…In the months that followed, we included images from the manuscripts and notified corresponding authors of the posts to enhance participation. A published initial analysis in February 2016 showed an exciting, positive trend in article accessions, with modest increases with our interventions 6. We have since increased our number of assistant editors and have begun to identify and highlight controversial or important new articles on SNIS discussion boards to promote member commentary and drive online traffic to these articles.…”
