Social Media Committee Research Articles

Reflections From the Annals of Surgical Oncology Social Media Committee: The Impact of Promoting Surgical Science Online.

The Annals of Surgical Oncology (ASO) launched a Social Media Committee in 2022 to strategically promote surgical science, boost journal impact, and raise awareness of cutting-edge research. This study investigated the impact of the ASO Social Media Committee on journal visibility, publication engagement, and article-level metrics. Manuscripts accepted by ASO and promoted on Twitter/X between 21 September 2020 and 20 September 2023 were evaluated for differences in article and social media metrics. Pearson correlations evaluated the relationship between normalized article downloads and normalized likes, retweets/reposts, and quote tweets/quotes. Group comparisons of social media engagement by article type were performed. In the 18 months before the formation of the ASO Social Media Committee, 1023 manuscripts were published, and 1023 were published in the 18 months afterward. The median Altmetric scores for articles published before (3.0; IQR, 0-7.0) and afterward (2.0; IQR, 0-7.0) were similar (p = 0.480). In contrast, the normalized median number of downloads per article was significantly greater after the Social Media Committee was formed (0.85 downloads per article [IQR, 0.55-1.48] vs 1.37 [IQR, 0.93-2.51]; p < 0.001). Positive correlations were noted for normalized downloads with likes (r = 0.14; p < 0.001), retweets/reposts (r = 0.08; p < 0.001), and quote tweets/quotes (r = 0.16; p < 0.001). No difference in social media engagement by article type was observed. More downloads were noted for ASO articles posted by the Social Media Committee after normalization. An organized effort to promote surgical science likely improves article exposure. Future efforts should seek to expand article promotion to additional social media and networking platforms with a more international, multi-lingual approach.

American Society of Emergency Radiology (ASER) social media committee workgroup: best practices for the use of social media in emergency radiology.

Social media has become integrated within the profession of medicine, and emergency radiology has inevitably felt the impact of its presence. Emergency radiologists are encouraged to consider the advantages of embracing the digital era and the benefits it may bring to our careers. We aim to present the best practice guidelines for emergency radiologists and radiology departments. This paper is a product of the American Society of Emergency Radiology Social Media (ASER) Committee workgroup and represents the best practices of the society.

Social Media Engagement at Academic Conferences: Report of the Association of Pathology Chairs 2018 and 2019 Annual Meeting Social Media Committee

The use of social media at academic conferences is expanding, and platforms such as Twitter are used to share meeting content with the world. Pathology conferences are no exception, and recently, pathology organizations have promoted social media as a way to enhance meeting exposure. A social media committee was formed ad hoc to implement strategies to enhance social media involvement and coverage at the 2018 and 2019 annual meetings of the Association of Pathology Chairs. This organized approach resulted in an 11-fold increase in social media engagement compared to the year prior to committee formation (2017). In this article, the social media committee reviews the strategies that were employed and the resultant outcome data. In addition, we categorize tweets by topic to identify the topics of greatest interest to meeting participants, and we discuss the differences between Twitter and other social media platforms. Lastly, we review the existing literature on this topic from 23 medical specialties and health care fields.

Utilizing Social Media to Spread Knowledge: The Association of Pathology Chairs Experience at the 2018 Annual Meeting

Participants at academic conferences frequently use social media to disseminate educational content learned while at the meeting. Although most agree that this activity is harmless, some have expressed concern regarding the accuracy of the shared content and whether it truly reflects the intent and message of the speaker. As part of the goals of the APC 2018 social media committee to promote excellence through social media, a study was conducted to measure the perceived accuracy of tweets that represented an opinion or statement from a speaker and was shared during the annual meeting. Tweets shared on Twitter using the meeting hashtag (#APCPRODS2018) were collected and a survey unique to each speaker was created, to which 54% responded. The majority of speakers regarded the use of Twitter at the conference as beneficial in spreading their intended message in an accurate way. This study exemplifies the positive impact that social media use can have at academic meetings.

PP066 Disseminate Results Through Social Video And Social Networks

INTRODUCTION:We are experiencing a fundamental change in the way our target groups interact with information online, moving from passive consumption to more active creation of content, for example social video and social networks. This means a great potential in reaching more people in a cost-effective way which in the end will result in greater impact.METHODS:The Swedish Agency for Health Technology Assessment and Assessment of Social Services (SBU), have developed an easy way to produce and disseminate our results through social video and social networks.SBU has a special social media editorial committee for communication via social media, which includes participants from different departments. The editorial committee discusses on a weekly basis the issues to be raised on the agency's Twitter and LinkedIn accounts.SBU works actively with social video as a message channel. During the past year several videos have been published with various themes (1 - 3). All of the members of the social media committee have attendend a short training course in order to be able to produce and publish social videos. For shorter production, we make ourselves with iPhones and editing with iMovie or Adobe Premiere Pro. For more extensive videos we produce together with a production agency.RESULTS:The number of followers on Twitter have increased from 500 in December 2015, to 1,400 in December 2016. Our followers are for example professors, doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, journalists, politicians, and opinion makers from patient organizations.In our latest recruitment processes we have been experiencing significant number of qualified candidates, who found the link to our website through social media networks like Facebook and LinkedIn.CONCLUSIONS:Social media should be at the heart of digital transformation as it crosses boundaries: you will have a broader impact and it has a great potential in reaching your target groups in a cost-effective way.

Social Media as a Supplement to Face-to-Face Education: The Perspectives of Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program Paraprofessionals and Graduates

Using social media is an inexpensive, innovative approach to supplementing direct education provided by the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP). Focus group research was conducted with EFNEP paraprofessionals (n = 33) and participants (n = 39) to inform the development of a social media presence for the program. Although recommendations by EFNEP's social media committee focus on providing online articles, focus group results suggest that content should be presented as colorful pictures and videos, portraying recipes and nutrition tips. Also, the study highlights the importance of using engaging, colorful visuals when using social media as a form of indirect education.

Recommendations from the Council of Residency Directors (CORD) Social Media Committee on the Role of Social Media in Residency Education and Strategies on Implementation.

Social media (SM) is a form of electronic communication through which users create online communities and interactive platforms to exchange information, ideas, messages, podcasts, videos, and other user-generated content. Emergency medicine (EM) has embraced the healthcare applications of SM at a rapid pace and continues to explore the potential benefit for education. Free Open Access Meducation has emerged from the ever-expanding collection of SM interactions and now represents a virtual platform for sharing educational media. This guidance document constitutes an expert consensus opinion for best practices in the use of SM in EM residency education. The goals are the following: 1) Recommend adoption of SM as a valuable graduate medical education (GME) tool, 2) Provide advocacy and support for SM as a GME tool, and 3) Recommend best practices of educational deliverables using SM. These guidelines are intended for EM educators and residency programs for the development and use of a program-specific SM presence for residency education, taking into account appropriate SM stewardship that adheres to institution-specific guidelines, content management, Accreditation Council for GME milestone requirements, and integration of SM in EM residency curriculum to enhance the learner’s experience. Additionally, potential obstacles to the uptake of SM as an educational modality are discussed with proposed solutions.
