- Lutz Bornmann & Robin Haunschild (2016): How to normalize Twitter counts? A first attempt based on journals in the Twitter Index
An important source of altmetrics is Twitter, which is a popular microblogging service. ... This study deals with the normalization of Twitter counts (TC). The problem with Twitter data is that many papers receive zero tweets or only one tweet. In order to restrict the impact analysis on only those journals producing a considerable Twitter impact, we defined the Twitter Index (TI) containing journals with at least 80 % of the papers with at least 1 tweet each. For all papers in each TI journal, we calculated normalized Twitter percentiles (TP) which range from 0 (no impact) to 100 (highest impact).

This article aims to show that journalists in different countries have different approaches to the use of Twitter. After looking at American and German research, it is fair to say that journalists generally perceive their posts on Twitter in relation to their profession. They do not consider Twitter only to be the private sphere. ... The article examines six of the most popular Czech journalists’ Twitter accounts. ... The article seeks to demonstrate that Czech journalists perceive Twitter more as a medium to support private conversations with other users than as a medium to promote the content of his or her publisher.

Eleven Twitter performance indexes are used to describe the activity and performance of these accounts. ... A group of the more active museums on Twitter is constructed. Partially, Twitter performance is in accordance with museums popularity and ranking, while there are a significant proportion of museums which do not use Twitter.

RePEc:cpm:notobe:2009 Save to MyIDEAS - Lutz Bornmann & Robin Haunschild (2018): Allegation of scientific misconduct increases Twitter attention
The web-based microblogging platform Twitter is a very popular altmetrics source for measuring the broader impact of science. In this case study, we demonstrate how problematic the use of Twitter data for research evaluation can be, even though the aspiration of measurement is degraded from impact to attention measurement. We collected the Twitter data for the paper published by Yamamizu et al.

We study the relation between the promotion of a cryptocurrency on Twitter and its return dynamics around pump-and-dump events. By analyzing abnormal returns, trading volume, and tweet activity, we uncover that Twitter effectively garners attention for pump-and-dump schemes, leading to notable effects on abnormal returns before the event. Our results indicate that investors relying on Twitter information exhibit delayed selling behavior during the post-dump phase, resulting in significant losses compared to other participants.

Under a qualitative approach and the netnography method, we used Twitter as an instrument for data collection. The model proposed by Perez-Cepeda and Arias-Bolzmann (2020), which describes cultural factors, is used to analyze the Twitter conversation flow that evidences the sociocultural factors of minority subcultures. Studies have shown that the data structure, classification, categorization, and purpose are based on the information production and consumption of the users who participate in Twitter conversations with @Refugees—the official account of the ACNUR/UNHCR Américas. ... This paper focuses on refugees, the consumption of refugee information, text writing, sociocultural factors, and the environment on Twitter.
