In the past decade, social media platforms have been recognized as an important tool in the dissemination of science among the research community and as an interface between scientists and the general public. Publishing companies that specialize in scientific research now pay attention to alternative metrics ("altmetrics") and provide comprehensive guides about social media management to editors. Twitter has emerged as a leader among social media platforms in the dissemination of science. This Perspective will assert the merits of using Twitter to expand the reach of scientific conferences while providing guidance on how to disseminate conference findings in real-time, called "live-tweeting," without compromising scientific integrity.
在过去的十年中,社交媒体平台已被认可为科研群体中传播科学知识的重要工具,也是科学家与公众之间的交流界面。专注于科学研究的出版公司现在开始关注替代计量指标("altmetrics"),并为编辑提供有关社交媒体管理的综合指南。在科学知识传播方面,Twitter 已成为社交媒体平台的佼佼者。本文观点认为,利用 Twitter 扩大科学会议的影响力具有一定的优势,同时还提供了在不影响科学完整性的前提下实时传播会议成果(即“实时推文”)的指导建议。
