“…The concept of ‘altmetrics’ (referring to non-traditional alternative article-level metrics) was implemented in 2010 in reference to new metrics that evaluate the early influence of scholarly material on broad audiences in comparison with citation counts 4. Altmetrics measure scientific and social impacts of an article after publication, based on the number of ‘mentions’ of an article across various online sources 4 5…”

Background and purposeAlternative metrics (altmetrics), based on mentions in online media, is a new tool that can help to identify the most influential articles to diverse public audiences. This article aimed to determine the 100 most mentioned articles in the field of neurointervention and to analyze their characteristics.Materials and methodsWe selected the 808 journals that were considered journals potentially publishing articles on neurointervention. We also selected articles using keywords. Using the Altmetric.com search tool, we identified the 101 most mentioned neurointervention articles based on the highest altmetric attention scores (AASs) within selected journals and articles. Each article was evaluated for several characteristics including AAS, number of citations, journal title, journal category, impact factor of the journal, year of publication, authorship, country, type of document, and topic.ResultsThe AASs for the top 101 articles ranged from 1586 to 39. Stroke published the largest number of articles (19.8%) followed by the New England Journal of Medicine (17.8%). The majority of articles were published in multidisciplinary journals (38.6%), were published in 2017–2018 (43.6%), originated from the USA (54.5%), were original articles (66.3%), and dealt with intra-arterial thrombolysis or thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke (58.4%). Tudor G Jovin was the most prolific author, authoring 18 of the most mentioned neurointervention articlesConclusionsThis study presents a detailed list of the 101 most mentioned neurointervention articles in online media, thus providing useful information on the dissemination of neurointervention research to the general public.

“…8 Altmetric scores track the disseminative impact of research articles online by tracking mentions on social media (e.g., Facebook, Twitter) and mentions on blogs, podcasts, and news outlets. 9 Largely due to discussion spurred by the SGEM podcast and blog post, the Altmetric score for the article reached 71, the highest score of all the articles that have been published in CJEM (Figure 3).…”

“…In a detailed review of Altmetric scores, Trueger et al highlight that "dissemination scores do not replace the need for readers' independent ability to critique the primary literature." 19 The social media dissemination of the paper, although impressive, may have been biased and inflated in that the authors of the paper and podcast are quite active on social media and involved in social media broadcasting.…”

As part of the Canadian Journal of Emergency Medicine's (CJEM) developing social media strategy, 1 we are collaborating with the Skeptics' Guide to Emergency Medicine (SGEM) to summarize and critically appraise the current emergency medicine (EM) literature using evidence-based medicine principles. In the "Hot Off the Press" series, we select original research manuscripts published in CJEM to be featured on the SGEM website/ podcast 2 and discussed by the study authors and the online EM community. A similar collaboration is underway between the SGEM and Academic Emergency Medicine. What follows is a summary of the selected article the immediate post-publication synthesis from the SGEM podcast, commentary by the first author, and the subsequent discussion from the SGEM blog and other social media. Through this series, we hope to enhance the value, accessibility, and application of important, clinically relevant EM research. In this, the third SGEM HOP hosted collaboratively with CJEM, we discuss Olszynski et al.'s randomized crossover study evaluating the use of ultrasound simulator devices during critical care simulation. 3
