Results of Longitudinal Relationship Between Social Media Activity and Article Citations in the Journal Gastrointestinal Endoscopy

In a longitudinal analysis of 2,361 original research articles from Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2,050 articles (86.8%) received at least one citation. Articles averaged 16.8 ± 23 citations and an Altmetric Attention Score of 2.0 ± 13. In logistic regression, being tweeted was the strongest reported predictor of receiving a citation (OR 14.2; 95% CI 8.93–22.45); Facebook-post count (OR 1.08; 95% CI 1.03–1.51) and Mendeley-reader count (OR 1.359; 95% CI 1.28–1.45) were also predictors. In multivariable linear regression, higher citation rates were significantly associated with the numbers of tweeters (β 2.3; P = .022), F1000 reviews (β 5.87; P < .001), policy documents (β 7.6; P < .001), and Mendeley readers (β 14.21; P < .001). These observational associations do not establish causation. Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30935934/
