New preprint! 🚨

We study the interaction between misinformation and science on Twitter during COVID-19 based on ~407M tweets. Both science and misinformation featured prominently during the pandemic, but the interaction between the two has not been studied on this scale before.

🧵 (1/10)

Mapping the interaction between science and misinformation in COVID-19 tweets.
Publication from @luzuzek.bsky.social, Juan Pablo Bascur, @annabertani.bsky.social, @ricgallotti.bsky.social. This project is supported by European Media and Information Fund.

Abstract: During the COVID-19 pandemic, scientific understanding related to the topic evolved rapidly. Along with scientific information being discussed widely, a large circulation of false information, labelled an infodemic by the WHO, emerged. Here, we study the interaction between misinformation and science on Twitter (now X) during the COVID-19 pandemic. We built a comprehensive database of 407M COVID-19 related tweets and classified the reliability of URLs in the tweets based on Media Bias/Fact Check. In addition, we use Altmetric data to see whether a tweet refers to a scientific publication. We find that many users find that many users share both scientific and unreliable content; out of the 1.2M users who share science, also share unreliable content. Publications that are more frequently shared by users who also share unreliable content are more likely to be preprints, slightly more often retracted, have fewer citations, and are published in lower-impact journals on average. Our findings suggest that misinformation is not related to a ``deficit'' of science. In addition, our findings raise some critical questions about certain open science practices and their potential for misuse. Given the fundamental opposition between science and misinformation, our findings highlight the necessity for proactive scientific engagement on social media platforms to counter false narratives during global crises.

Just out in JOI 🔓 Are there stars in Bluesky? (w/ @nrobinsongarcia.bsky.social & @torressalinas.bsky.social), first to quantify 📊 how scholarly mentions are shifting from Twitter/X to Bluesky after the 2024 US elections 🗳️. Altmetrics are no longer a one-platform game 🪬.

This study by @vtraag.bsky.social and colleagues offers a great demonstration of the power of rigorous data-driven metaresearch.

It also shows the value of the RoRI model. Without this model, it would have been almost impossible to bring together the various data sets used in this study.

🎯 Does early success in science funding shape the rest of your career?

New RoRI study says yes.

The ‘Matthew effect’ — early winners keep winning — holds across funders & countries.

Largest study of its kind shows that the ‘Matthew effect’ in science funding holds true - Research on Research

New RoRI paper shows that researchers who win funding early in their career are more likely to get funded in the future
