Twitter Predicts Citation Rates of Ecological Research

This study looked at the relationship between Twitter activity and research articles and found a strong positive relation between Twitter activity on an article and the number of citations the article has. They found that Twitter activity was a greater predictor of citations than impact factor was. They also discussed how Twitter activity was not based on impact factor, removing that confound.
