Abstract

Abstract:Different factors influence the altmetric attentions for scholarly articles on social media. This study aimed to evaluate the effecting factors on altmetric coverage of journals in non-English-speaking countries. Using a total population sampling technique, we included all Iranian and Turkish journals published from 2016 to 2019. Altmetric data were collected from altmetric.com using an application programming interface, for the coverage of mentions aggregated by the journal articles on Twitter, Facebook, and news media. The correlations between the languages, field of study, Google PageRank (GPR) score, and availability of a 'share button' with mentions were calculated using non-parametric tests. Among all articles, 2,378 articles were scholarly communicated on social media, and there were 7,191 mentions in the evaluated platforms. The scholarly publication of Iran and Turkey differed greatly concerning the subject matter. However, Twitter ranked first among the highly used alternative metrics for scholarly communication in both countries. The number of mentions for English journals was higher than for bilingual ones. Moreover, there was a positive correlation between the GPR and the coverage of mentions on Twitter and news media.
影响期刊文章在社会媒体和新闻媒体上学术传播的因素评价:一项替代计量研究
摘要:影响社交媒体学术文章替代性关注的因素不同。本研究旨在评估非英语国家期刊替代覆盖的影响因素。使用总体抽样技术,我们纳入了2016年至2019年出版的所有伊朗和土耳其期刊。Altmetric的数据是使用应用程序编程接口从altmetric.com收集的,用于Twitter、Facebook和新闻媒体上的期刊文章汇总的提及覆盖率。使用非参数测试计算语言、研究领域、Google PageRank (GPR)得分和提及的“分享按钮”的可用性之间的相关性。在所有文章中,2378篇文章是在社交媒体上进行学术交流的,在被评估的平台上被提及的次数为7191次。伊朗和土耳其的学术出版物在主题上有很大的不同。然而,Twitter在两国学术交流中使用率最高的替代指标中排名第一。英文期刊的被提及次数高于双语期刊。此外,GPR与Twitter和新闻媒体的提及覆盖率之间存在正相关关系。
