Social media platforms play an increasingly important role in research, education, and clinical practice. As an inseparable part of open science, these platforms may increase the visibility of research outputs and facilitate scholarly networking. The editors who ethically moderate Twitter, Facebook, and other popular social media accounts for their journals may engage influential authors in the post-publication communication and expand societal implications of their publications. Several social media aggregators track and generate alternative metrics which can be used by researchers for visualizing trending articles in their fields. More and more publishers showcase their achievements by displaying such metrics along with traditional citations. The Scopus database also tracks both metrics to offer a comprehensive coverage of the indexed articles' impact. Understanding the advantages and limitations of various social media channels is essential for actively contributing to the post-publication communication, particularly in research-intensive fields such as rheumatology.
社交媒体平台在研究、教育和临床实践中发挥着越来越重要的作用。作为开放科学不可分割的一部分，这些平台可能会提高研究成果的可见性，并促进学术交流。那些出于道德考量为其期刊管理推特、脸书和其他热门社交媒体账号的编辑，可能会在论文发表后与有影响力的作者进行交流，并扩大其出版物的社会影响。一些社交媒体聚合器会跟踪并生成替代指标，研究人员可以用这些指标来可视化其所在领域的热门文章。越来越多的出版商通过展示这些指标以及传统引用量来展示他们的成就。Scopus数据库也会跟踪这两种指标，以全面覆盖被索引文章的影响力。了解各种社交媒体渠道的优势和局限性，对于积极参与论文发表后的交流至关重要，尤其是在风湿病学等研究密集型领域。
