The 100 most impactful articles on the rotator cuff: an altmetric analysis of online media

PurposeThe purpose of our study was to use the Altmetric Attention Score (AAS) to evaluate the 100 most impactful articles in online media pertaining to the rotator cuff and compare their characteristics to the most-cited rotator cuff articles in the scientific literature.MethodsWe performed an article extraction using Altmetric Explorer to identify all published articles pertaining to the rotator cuff. The top 100 articles with the highest AAS were included for analysis. Several data elements were extracted for each included article: title, article type, article topic, year of publication, journal name, authors, institutional affiliations, and online mentions (i.e. the number of times the article was mentioned in news, blog, Twitter, Facebook, and Wikipedia sources). The geographic origin of each article was also determined by the institutional affiliation of the first author, which was categorized as American (originating in the United States), European (originating in Europe), or other.ResultsThe 100 articles with the highest AAS were published between 2009 and 2020, with AAS ranging from 47 to 676 (median: 74.5, 25th percentile: 59.5, 75th percentile: 114.5). Of all online media sources, Twitter correlated most strongly with AAS (r = 0.9007, r2 = 0.8112). The selected articles were most frequently published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine (13), the Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery (11), and the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (7). The most common article type was Systematic Review/Meta-Analysis (29%), followed by Randomized Controlled Trial (15%). The top 3 AAS articles were all published by authors based in Europe.ConclusionThe most impactful rotator cuff articles in online media generated substantial online attention. These studies were often performed in Europe and tended to be high level of evidence, focusing on treatment of rotator cuff pathology. The rotator cuff articles that produced the most online attention differed from a previous report of the most-cited rotator cuff articles, suggesting that alternative metrics may be used in concert with conventional bibliometrics to obtain a more complete representation of scientific impact.

The Top 100 Most Impactful Articles on the Achilles Tendon: An Altmetric Analysis of Online Media

Category:Ankle; Hindfoot; SportsIntroduction/Purpose:Achilles tendon injuries affect a wide range of individuals, including both recreational and competitive athletes. In the elite athlete population, Achilles tendon ruptures are typically season-ending injuries and can be career-threatening. Due to these impacts on individual players' careers as well as team success, Achilles tendon injuries often generate substantial discussion in the mainstream media and among the general public. However, traditional citation-based metrics fail to capture the dissemination of Achilles research that occurs outside the realm of scientific journal publications. Thus, the purpose of this study was to use the Altmetric Attention Score (AAS) to identify the 100 most impactful articles in online media pertaining to the Achilles tendon and assess their characteristics.Methods:The Altmetric database (Digital Science, Holtzbrinck Publishing) was queried to identify all published articles pertaining to the Achilles Tendon. The articles were stratified by highest to lowest AAS and the top 100 articles with the highest scores were included for analysis. Several data elements were extracted for each article: title, article type, article topic, year of publication, journal name, authors, institutional affiliations, and online mentions (i.e., the number of times the article was mentioned in news, blog, Twitter, Facebook and Wikipedia sources). The geographic origin of each article was also determined by the institutional affiliation of the first author, which was categorized as American (originating in the United States), European (originating in Europe), or Other. Linear regression was used to determine the relationship between online mentions and AAS.Results:The initial search yielded 3,810 articles published between 1957 and 2021. AAS of the top 100 articles ranged from 37 to 476 with a median of 65 (interquartile range: 42-110). The selected articles were published in 39 journals. The most prevalent article type was randomized controlled trial (21.8%), followed by systematic review / meta-analysis (13.9%). The most prevalent article topics were treatment (39.6%), rehabilitation and return to play (11.9%), epidemiology (11.9%), and biomechanics (11.9%). Of the top 100 articles, 25.0% were American, 45.0% were European, and 30.0% were published outside of the United States or Europe. AAS had a strong correlation to Twitter mentions (r = 0.81), a moderate correlation to Google Scholar mentions (r = 0.52), and a weak correlation to Facebook mentions (r = 0.49).Conclusion:This study used AAS to characterize the 100 most impactful Achilles articles in online media. As access to research continues to move away from the conventional printed format, it is critically important to understand how orthopaedic information is disseminated online. Our findings suggest that alternative metrics broaden the definition of article impact beyond what is provided by traditional citation-based metrics and should be considered as a supplemental means of assessing the overall impact of published scientific literature.

A Cognitive Poetic Schema Interpretation of Selected Poems by EFL University Students

College students have problems in studying literature in general and poetry in particular. They depend fully on the lectures of their instructors and the internet notes and Wikipedia sources that are widely spread via internet. Hence, the present study is an unprecedented one that seeks to find some solutions to this problem that faced both the instructors and the students. Its aims are as follows: identifying the cognitive poetic schema (henceforth, CPS) used in the interpretation of the poems involved in the study ; finding whether there are any differences among the three selected poems in students' CPS; Finding whether there are any differences among the four levels of the college students in the six components of the CPS rubric. To fulfill the aims of the study, the following procedures are carried out: first, a thorough and comprehensive survey of old and modern related literature to both fields of study, schema and cognitive poetics. Second, a model of CPS management is pinpointed and adopted from Stockwell’s well-known book Cognitive Poetics (2002). Third, three poems are selected from the poems of Liverpool poets by a jury of experts. Fourth, questions and their rubric are exposed to a jury of specialists. Fifth, a pilot study and later a final application of the test to the four levels of college students at the Department of English, College of Education for Women, are carried out. Results show that there are significant differences among college students in the four levels of the college. In the light of these findings, the study ended with some conclusions and recommendations.

Letter Frequency Analysis of Lithuanian and Other Languages Using the Latin Alphabet

It is important to evaluate specificities of alphabets, particularly the letter frequencies while designing keyboards, analyzing texts, designing games based on alphabets, and doing some text mining. In order to adequately compare lettter frequences of Lithuanian language to other languages in the Internet space, Wikipedia source was selected which content is common to different languages. The method of letter frequency jumps is used. The main attention is paid to the analysis of letter frequencies at the boundary between native letters and foreign letters used in Lithuanian and other languages.

Big Data and Small: Collaborations between ethnographers and data scientists

In the past three years, Heather Ford—an ethnographer and now a PhD student—has worked on ad hoc collaborative projects around Wikipedia sources with two data scientists from Minnesota, Dave Musicant and Shilad Sen. In this essay, she talks about how the three met, how they worked together, and what they gained from the experience. Three themes became apparent through their collaboration: that data scientists and ethnographers have much in common, that their skills are complementary, and that discovering the data together rather than compartmentalizing research activities was key to their success.
