Social media has been used to disseminate the contents of scientific articles. To measure the impact of this, a new tool called Altmetric was created. Altmetric aims to quantify the impact of each article through online media. This systematic review aims to describe the associations between the publishing journal and published article variables and Altmetric scores.
Searches on MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, CENTRAL, and Cochrane Library were conducted. We extracted data related to both the publishing article and the publishing journal associated with Altmetric scores. The methodological quality of included articles was analyzed by the Appraisal Tool for Cross-sectional Studies.
A total of 19 articles were considered eligible. These articles summarized a total of 573,842 studies. Citation counts, journal impact factor, access counts, papers published as open access, and press releases generated by the publishing journal were associated with Altmetric scores. The magnitude of these associations ranged from weak to strong.
Citation counts and journal impact factor are the most common variables associated with Altmetric scores. Other variables such as access counts, papers published in open access journals, and the use of press releases are also likely to be associated with online media attention.
This review does not contain health-related outcomes. Therefore, it is not eligible for registration.
社交媒体被用于传播科学文章的内容。为了衡量其影响，创建了一个名为 Altmetric 的新工具。Altmetric 旨在通过在线媒体来量化每篇文章的影响力。本系统评价旨在描述出版期刊和已发表文章变量与 Altmetric 分数之间的关联。
对 MEDLINE、EMBASE、CINAHL、CENTRAL 和 Cochrane Library 进行了检索。我们提取了与 Altmetric 分数相关的出版文章和出版期刊的数据。通过横断面研究评估工具分析了纳入文章的方法学质量。
共有 19 篇文章被认为符合条件。这些文章共总结了 573842 项研究。引文数量、期刊影响因子、访问量、以开放获取形式发表的论文以及出版期刊发布的新闻稿与 Altmetric 分数相关。这些关联的强度范围从弱到强。
引文数量和期刊影响因子是与 Altmetric 分数最常见的变量。其他变量，如访问量、发表在开放获取期刊上的论文以及使用新闻稿，也可能与在线媒体关注度相关。
本综述不包含与健康相关的结果。因此，它不符合注册要求。
