Tracking the Twitter attention around the research efforts on the COVID-19 pandemic discussion - evolution of Twitter discussions

  • Among the research topics mentioned on Twitter, pressing topics received more attention
  • There is a higher degree of engagement based on dissimilarity between publication titles and tweets, meaning that Twitter users generally did not merely summarize but added their own opinions
  • Twitter users are likely to discuss the impacts of COVID-19 on the real world in addition to scientific discoveries
  • Origins of COVID-19 was of utmost importance for Twitter users, but focus later shifted to include treatments, measures implemented by governments, and the economic and social impacts
