Twitter turbulences and their impact on Altmetric scores: a follow-up

Pablo de Castro, Open Access Advocacy Librarian at U Strathclyde

As stated in the previous post on this topic a month and a half ago, we continue to look into this issue of the possible impact of the "twitter instability" on Altmetric scores as a proxy for social impact of research.

The bad news first: the Altmetric score for the March 2023 paper in the European Journal of Human Genetics that the previous post was looking into has barely climbed despite all the media attention. As of May 6th, 2023 the score for this paper is "just" 124. This is of course one order of magnitude higher than it was a month and a half ago, but it's still rather low (see the good news bit below). The silver lining is that all the references in the news seem to have been incorporated to the score – there's 14 of them recorded in the Altmetric page.

The good news is that some publications are still able to grow very high Altmetric scores quite quickly. See for instance this PLoS Genetics paper "Imputed genomes and haplotype-based analyses of the Picts of early medieval Scotland reveal fine-scale relatedness between Iron Age, early medieval and the modern people of the UK" by A Morez (Liverpool John Moores University) et al at.

This paper, also on the topic of paleogenetics/ancient DNA and also with a key input from the University of Aberdeen (by Linus Girdland-Flink and his team), was only published on Apr 27th, 2023, i.e. just over a week ago. Its Altmetric score as of May 6th is 1,363, resulting from 166 identified mentions in news outlets and 152 tweeters. This means first and foremost that Altmetric scores seem to remain a reliable proxy for social impact of research (though the exploration continues).

It also means that the authors of this more recent paper in PLoS Genetics have probably taken a more proactive approach to dissemination within a closely-knit international community in the discipline. The journal of choice also plays an important role here – the Public Library of Science is an Open Access publisher and pioneered the adoption of article-level metrics quite a long time ago. On top of all this, the publication has been picked by AlphaGalileo, who have published and interview with the first author at Liverpool John Moores University.

A short introductory talk "Exploring Prehistory with Ancient DNA" delivered within the Aberdeen Little Lectures by Linus Girdland-Flink back in 2020 is available on YouTube, proving the point on proactiveness and international collaborative work in the discipline.

This hits different in 2023, don't it.

The media coverage on this has been absolutely bonkers. It might be our most successful piece ever in the media, although the Altmetrics don't reflect it.

There's a very good chance the frogs appear in a newspaper near you! If you find them in the wild, please send me a photo and/or physical copy of the paper!! I would be extremely grateful!

Also if you hear about it on the radio, please let me know when and where (which channel)!

Meet the seven new frog species we just named after iconic Star Trek captains!

At the right time of year along rushing streams in the humid rainforests that stretch the length of Madagascar's eastern and northern mountain ridges, otherworldly trills of piercing whistles can be heard.

Are they birds? Insects? Communicator beeps? Tricorder noises?

No, they're little treefrogs!

Until recently, we thought all of the populations of these little brown frogs across the island were one widespread species, Boophis marojezensis, described in 1994. But genetics in the early 2000s and 2010s showed that there were several species here, not just one.

Now my colleagues and I have shown that they are in fact eight separate species, each with unique calls!

These whistling sounds reminded us so much of Star Trek sound effects that we decided to name the seven new species after Star Trek captains: Boophis kirki, B. picardi, B. janewayae, B. siskoi, B. pikei, B. archeri, and B. burnhamae.

Photos of all new species described by Vences et al. 2024. CC BY-SA 4.0

I subtly and not-so-subtly built some Star Trek references into the paper, but probably the best one is this one:

'Finding these frogs sometimes requires considerable trekking; pursuing strange new calls, to seek out new frogs in new forests; boldly going where no herpetologist has gone before.'

— Vences et al. 2024

There’s a real sense of scientific discovery and exploration here, which we think is in the spirit of Star Trek.

Of course, it doesn't hurt that there are at least two Trekkies amongst the authors (including yours truly). As fans of Star Trek, we are also just pleased to dedicate these new species to the characters who have inspired and entertained us over the decades.

On a personal note, this marks a milestone for me, as it means I have now described over 100 frog species! I am very pleased that the 100th is Captain Janeway's Bright-eyed Frog, Boophis janewayae (if you count them in order of appearance in the paper)—she is probably my favourite captain, and I really love Star Trek: Voyager.

You can read more about the discovery of these new species on my website! You can also read the Open Access paper published in Vertebrate Zoology here.

Abstract

Many employees with strong religious convictions find themselves living in two separate worlds: the sacred private world of family and church where they can express their faith freely and the secular public world where religious expression is strongly discouraged. We examine the origins of sacred/secular divide, and show how this division is an outcome of modernism replacing Christianity as the dominant worldview in western society. Next, we make the case that guiding assumptions (or faith) is inherent in every worldview, system of thought, or religion and also show that scientific reason can never be a comprehensive or totalizing meaning system, particularly in the realm of ethics. The underlying assumptions of the sacred/secular divide are seriously questioned which has implications for employees who desire to integrate faith and career. Finally, we offer possibilities for individuals and corporate entities to integrate the personal and sacred with the institutional and secular.

Review of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Urology Literature

Review of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Urology Literature in Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research

Introduction: On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. Since then, our lives have changed in ways we could have never imagined. Multiple countries instituted “stay at home” quarantines, some of which continue to be in place today. The lives of healthcare workers have changed significantly, both in terms of clinical work and research. We reviewed the exisiting literature surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic to examine if there was a significant impact on the citation of recent urologic articles and the time from submission to article publication. Methods: Using the Journal Citation Reports, we reviewed the 15 urology journals with the highest impact factors in 2019 and sorted papers by whether they were related to COVID-19 or not. Articles were characterized by country of origin, type of article, subspecialty of urology, and time to publication. The Altmetric Attention Score (AAS), a metric of article dissemination, and citation count was also compared for COVID-19 versus non-COVID-19 related articles. Results: The average AAS score of COVID-19 articles was significantly higher than non-COVID-19 articles (22.5 vs 7.0, p<0.001). The highest average AAS was observed in the second quarter of 2020. COVID-19 articles had more citations than non-COVID-19 articles (7.5 vs 0.9, p<0.001). The median time between submission and publication was 52 days, compared to 164 days reported for publications in a comparable field prior to COVID-19. Conclusion: Urology articles related to COVID-19 objectively garnered more attention than articles not related to COVID-19. The publication timeline from submission to acceptance was significantly faster during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Also, researchers can use Altmetric to track down shares in places like Twitter and see what people have to say about their work. In the pre-Twitter-demise days I used to check on my most popular pair and sneakily eavesdrop on what people were saying about it.

should be able to leave kudos on scientific studies. i liked your paper dude keep at it

Twitter turbulences and their impact on Altmetric scores

Pablo de Castro, Open Access Advocacy Librarian at U Strathclyde

This is the first post in a series of informal musings on public ownership of scholarly comms-related infrastructure. This topic is very dear to the staff working in the domain at public research-performing organisations – including at U Strathclyde – and the series may subsequently see input from different members of the institutional Scholarly Publications and Research Data (SPRD) team.

Just a few days ago – on Fri Mar 17th, 2023 – news emerged in mainstream media on a ground-breaking research work conducted in Aberdeen and Edinburgh about a breast cancer-inducing gene (BRCA1) that could be traced back to some distant Orkney ancestor. This was a particularly inspiring piece of news not just because it was coming from Scotland but – mainly – because of its social implications in terms of ‘precision medicine’ application (Iceland came of course instantly to mind).

The news was very good – not the most frequent case these days unfortunately – and subsequently featured in lots of mainstream outlets beyond the usual university websites and niche research forums. One got to hear about it on BBC Radio 4 but there were pieces about it on the BBC and STV websites, The Guardian, the Aberdonian Press and Journal, the National and the Daily Mail among many other sources. Upon learning of the news – not something one should be particularly proud of given this specific genetics research work seems to have been going on for 25 years – the logical next step was to check the (Open Access) journal article in the European Journal of Human Genetics where the research findings were reported that gave rise to the hype.

The article web page contained a link to its Altmetric score – which one automatically assumed would eventually become massive same as for other high-impact research outputs in the recent past. Eventually because at the time of checking (the next day after the widespread media reporting) the score was just 15. So one kept the URL for the Altmetric page for the article in order to revisit it every week or so and witness the expected steep increase.

However, this steep increase has not materialised – or at least it has not five days after the news first broke out. This is bizarre. An Altmetric score of 17 for a paper that has featured essentially everywhere? Very strange. One could argue that it may be the news channels’ fault if they haven’t included the DOI of the article in the text or its associated metadata for their pieces, but this doesn’t look too credible an explanation – media have surely followed standard practice around this and Altmetric’s standard practice is to ‘catch’ these references regardless of whether or not the levers are there.

So the most likely explanation one is able to fathom is that the ‘Twitter crisis’ may be hitting services largely based on social media impact. It’s not just that the desertion of large swathes of very active communicators in the scholarly comms domain to Mastodon has dried up the references (tweets) that should be there for Altmetric to catch. It’s – presumably – also that such a hit to the information-gathering workflow and to its associated business model has somehow rendered the Altmetric snapshot unreliable. The impact of this paper a week after release has surely been higher than 17 (as of Mar 21st, screenshot posted at the top).

Reflections on the domino-effect impact of the recent Twitter ‘turbulences’ may or may not have been published already – one hasn’t been able to identify much in the way of analysis so far beyond the internal conversations held behind closed doors at institutions. But if there haven’t yet been any, it’s reasonable to expect a good number of them to come out sooner rather than later.

From an institutional blogger’s perspective, the main reflection on this saga is that it provides yet another piece of evidence for the convenience of relying on publicly-owned services and data sources for a sustainable management of the scholarly comms domain. It’s not that public ownership will necessarily provide the desired safeguards to prevent the unravelling of a service stack – the recent discontinuation of the funding for CORE is a case in point – but at least it warrants public institutions a certain margin for action.

So while we continue to look into this issue around Almetric scores – the score for this EJHG paper has climbed to 22 between the writing and the posting of these paragraphs – it's worth bearing in mind these scores may no longer be as reliable a proxy for research impact as they once where (a statement that many will dispute anyway).

The Future of Scientific Research Journals: Embracing Change in the Digital Age

Introduction:

In the ever-evolving landscape of scientific research, journals have played a pivotal role in disseminating knowledge, facilitating peer review, and promoting scholarly communication. The traditional format of printed research journals has been a cornerstone of the scientific community for centuries. However, the digital age has ushered in a new era of scientific publishing, presenting both opportunities and challenges. In this article, we will explore the evolving landscape of science research journals in the digital age, focusing on the transformation brought about by technology, open access, and the changing dynamics of peer review.

The Digital Revolution:

The emergence of the internet and digital technology has reshaped the way scientific research is published, accessed, and distributed. Online research journals have revolutionized the dissemination of scientific findings, making it more accessible to researchers and the general public. The rapid exchange of information across the globe has accelerated scientific progress and collaboration.

Open Access: A Game Changer:

The concept of open access (OA) has gained significant momentum in the scientific community. OA journals provide unrestricted access to research articles, eliminating barriers related to subscription fees and copyrights. This approach promotes knowledge sharing, global collaboration, and increased visibility for research findings. The shift towards OA has challenged the traditional subscription-based model, raising important questions about the sustainability of scientific publishing.

Challenges and Quality Assurance:

One of the major concerns associated with the digitalization of scientific research journals is the quality of content. In the digital era, anyone can publish content online, which has led to the proliferation of pseudo-scientific journals and questionable research. Peer review remains essential to ensure the credibility and validity of research, but the process itself is evolving. Collaborative, open peer review systems are gaining traction, as they aim to enhance transparency and inclusivity in the review process.

Impact Metrics and Altmetrics:

In the digital age, tracking the impact of scientific research has become more sophisticated. Traditional metrics like journal impact factor are now complemented by alternative metrics (altmetrics) that measure the reach and influence of research across social media, blogs, and other online platforms. These metrics provide a more comprehensive view of a research article's impact, but they also come with their own set of challenges, such as gaming the system and bias.

The Role of Preprint Servers:

Preprint servers have become increasingly popular for sharing research findings before formal peer review and publication. Platforms like arXiv and bioRxiv allow researchers to disseminate their work quickly and receive feedback from the scientific community. While preprint servers accelerate the dissemination of knowledge, they also raise questions about the quality and accuracy of unpublished research.

The Way Forward:

The future of science research journals will likely continue to evolve as technology advances and the scientific community adapts to new norms. Researchers, publishers, and institutions need to navigate the digital age thoughtfully, balancing the benefits of open access and rapid dissemination with the maintenance of high-quality peer review and ethical research practices.

In conclusion, science research journals are undergoing a profound transformation in the digital age. The shift towards open access, evolving peer review processes, the use of alternative metrics, and the rise of preprint servers are reshaping the landscape of scientific publishing. Adapting to these changes while maintaining scientific rigor and ethical standards will be key to the success of research journals in the 21st century. As the scientific community continues to embrace digital innovations, the potential for global collaboration and knowledge dissemination remains brighter than ever.

It may additionally be a curse, as conversion rates usually drop when individuals aren't closer to making an immediate purchase. This doesn't happen by working the same ad inventive over and over again. You ought to change issues up frequently, even if you're simply targeting people nearby. For most construction companies, this return on ad spend would not be acceptable.

The idea of PPC promotion is vastly different from print and conventional advertising methods. When you run an ad in a newspaper or magazine, you have no way of knowing precisely how many individuals noticed your ad or what the return on your investment was. However, PPC ads offer you the ability to discover the return on your investment. You will know how many individuals saw your ads (ad impressions), clicked your ad, how much each click cost you, and how many individuals transformed or took the desired action. In this guide, I am going to clarify what PPC means in real estate marketing and how one can leverage this glorious marketing methodology.

As a first step, you can possibly run traditional Google Adwords, possibly utilizing their newer Performance Max campaign sort. We often use Performance Max campaigns for professional providers and corporations, such as accountants, lawyers, dentists, and physicians. Understanding your conversion rate, and figuring out how to improve it may be essential to the management of your paid promotion. To enhance the situation, you rent a paid promotion agency to switch your marketing campaign settings, ad creatives, and touchdown page experience. Then they made improvements to their machine learning algorithms, which greatly diminished the need for custom audiences and lookalike audiences for most ad firms for construction companies.

It is normally used for the building of marine methods, masonry mortars, and hydraulic buildings. These are broadly present in mass concrete works corresponding to dikes, sewer tanks, and dams, respectively. In certain situations, PPC cement grade has to be used in place of OPC. PPC-type cement is a form of Portland cement distinguished by the existence of pozzolana particles such as fly powder and volcanic ash that are applied to OPC by 15 percent to 35%.

Custom-built landing pages are internet pages that customers see after they click on your ad. They’re constructed to match your pay-per-click ad’s message and persuade visitors to transform into leads or paying clients by directing them to your website or promoting them to place a buy order. The fantastic thing about PPC is that you can arrange different campaigns for varied audience segments. At the very least, you must know their demographics and customer intent, so you can probably target them correctly. Google’s Dynamic Search Ads use your natural website content material to determine the ads it displays.

Same-sex sexual behaviour, that is, any attempted sexual activity between members of the same sex1,2,3,4, has been reported in over 1500 animal species, including all main groups from invertebrates such as insects, spiders, echinoderms, and nematodes, to vertebrates such as fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals1,2,3. Same-sex sexual behaviour is particularly prevalent in nonhuman primates5,6, where it has been observed in at least 51 species from lemurs to apes7. This sexual behaviour is not limited to one sex or to the existence of artificial conditions, as it has been observed in males and females both in captivity and in wild conditions1,2,3,8. Same-sex sexual behaviour is also frequent in humans, existing throughout most of our history and in many societies and cultures9,10.
