Identifying the princes base on Altmetrics: An awakening mechanism of sleeping beauties from the perspective of social media.

ABSTRACT: In science, sleeping beauties (SBs) denotes a special phenomenon of the diffusion of scientific knowledge based on citation trajectories, the awakening of which is also measured through changes in the citations index. However, the rapid advancement of social media has altered the mode of scientific communication and knowledge diffusion. This study aims to re-identify SBs and its Prince from the perspective of comprehensive indicators, which involves the analysis of Altmetrics indexes and Citation index, and investigate the awakening mechanism of A-SB to supplement the research on the awakening mechanism of SBs. By combining Ab index, we redefined the Prince, which makes A-SB receive high attention after a long Sleeping period and reflects the most prominent academic or social behavior that awakens and sustains the Awakening of A-SB. Then we conducted empirical research on the retrieved PLOS Biology collection and examined Prince after identifying the A-SB. The analysis and summary of the characteristics of the identified A-SB and Prince revealed the SBs' awakening mechanism under the comprehensive trajectory based on Altmetrics from the three dimensions of the influence between the indicators, the overall evolution trajectory of A-SB, and literature bibliometric attributes. In the trajectory of Delayed Recognition stage of A-SB, we define the Dogsleep of SBs, which mirrors that the instability of the Sleeping of SBs will generate a specific negative impact on Prince of A-SB and Awakening intensity. Besides, the literature bibliometric attributes cannot reflect the tendency of users to read academic papers, which again proves that the traditional citation index cannot be neglected in the awakening mechanism of A-SB. Overall, this study demonstrates the addition of the Altmetrics indexes as a useful complement, illustrating the inheritance and connection between the SBs based on the comprehensive trajectory and the SBs based on the citation diffusion trajectory.

Project description:BackgroundTardive dyskinesia (TD) is a persistent and potentially disabling movement disorder associated with prolonged exposure to dopamine receptor blocking agents such as antipsychotics. With the expanding use of antipsychotics, research is needed to better understand patient perspectives of TD, which clinical assessments may fail to capture. Social media listening (SML), which is recognized by the US FDA as a method that can advance ongoing efforts for more patient-focused drug development, has been used to understand patient experiences in other disease states. This is the first study to use SML analysis of unsolicited patient and caregiver insights to help clinicians understand how patients describe their symptoms, the emotional distress associated with TD, and the impact on caregivers.MethodsIn this pilot study, a comprehensive search was performed for publicly available, English-language, online content posted between March 2017 and November 2019 on social media platforms, blogs, and forums. An analytics platform (NetBase™) identified posts containing patient or caregiver experiences of assumed TD using predefined search terms. All posts were manually curated and reviewed to ensure quality and validity of the post and to further classify key symptoms, sentiments, and themes.ResultsA total of 261 posts from patients/caregivers ("patient insights") were identified using predefined search terms; 107 posts were used for these analyses. Posts were primarily from forums (47%) and Twitter (33%). Analysis of the most common sentiment-related terms (e.g. "feel" [n = 31], "worse" [n = 17], "symptom" [n = 14], "better" [n = 12]) indicated that 64% were negative, 33% were neutral, and 3% were positive. Theme analysis revealed that patients often felt angry about having TD from a medication used to treat a different condition. In addition, patients felt insecure, including feeling unaccepted by society and fear of being judged by others.ConclusionAlthough this study was limited by inherent methodological constraints (e.g., small sample size, reliance on patient self-report), the perspectives generated from analyzing social media may help convey the unmet needs of patients with TD. This analysis indicated that movement-related symptoms are the most common patient concern, resulting in strong feelings of anger and insecurity.

Project description:ObjectiveIn developed countries, orthodontists utilize social media platforms as a pivotal component of their marketing strategies. However, there exists a gap in understanding the broader perspective of healthcare professionals on the utilization of social media in healthcare service delivery. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the perceptions of healthcare professionals in Turkey regarding the integration of social media within healthcare service delivery.Materials & methodsThis cross-sectional study, conducted between January and February 2023, surveyed 378 members of the Turkish Orthodontic Society. The survey consisted of two parts: a demographic questionnaire with 28 items and a 21-item "Social Media Marketing Activities Scale," developed with input from three experts. Data analysis will include an explanatory factor analysis. This study provides a snapshot of orthodontists' perspectives on social media marketing practices.ResultsWhen participants' views of patient communication through social media were examined, 19.8% said they "thought it was right" and 80.2% said they "thought it was wrong". The treatment and treatment alternatives shared with patients through social media were implemented in 16.5% of cases and not implemented in 83.5% of cases. When examining the social media accounts used by participants to communicate with patients, 56.8% used personal accounts, 43.2% used professional accounts, and when analyzing the social media accounts they used for promotional purposes, 15.8% had personal accounts, 84.2% of them used professional accounts. More than half (59.8%) of orthodontists believed that communicating with patients on social media could cause legal problems. The majority of orthodontists (88.7%) followed their competitors.ConclusionThe prevalence of participants' use of social media posts for advertising purposes was low, and it was determined that the main reason for this was the prohibition of advertising in the provision of health services.
