Concept

COVID-19 publications: Database coverage, citations, readers, tweets, news, Facebook walls, Reddit posts results - overlaps in citation counts between sources

  • Researchers are most citing the same publications that are agreed to be most influential and containing important information
  • Preprints generally received less attention because they have not been peer reviewed
  • From the March 24 dataset, it could be observed that lower quality or impact publications were less read and therefore less cited in general
  • In terms of Twitter engagement, international research is tweeted more than national research
  • There also seems to be a regional bias in Twitter discussion of publications, especially regarding research published by prestigious UK and US institutions
