Concept

Tracking the Twitter attention around the research efforts on the COVID-19 pandemic

There is a parallel relationship between COVID-19-related publications and Twitter mentions where Twitter discussion increases with more research about COVID-19 being published
Tweets from users of academic backgrounds are seen as more credible and hence receive more attention and more retweets
Research supports the claim that Twitter engagement and discussion of COVID-19-related research can be helpful in determining perceptions around the pandemic
