This table shows baseline statistics. for the articles. This is before articles in the experimental group got tweeted. Most of this data is expressed in the mean +- standard deviation format. 

University of California, Berkeley

- tweeted articles had a significant increase in Altmetric scores and Altmetric score percentiles compared to controls and compared to paired articles in the control group
- Altmetric score percentile is strongly correlated with number of citations 
- tweeting results in significant increase in citations 
- citations can be predicted by Twitter exposure and social media attention
- social media activity can have scholarly impact
- no difference in Altmetric scores and citation numbers between different research categories
