| Popis: | This paper examines the presence of Library and Information Science articles in social media platforms by considering the top 100 highly socially cited articles from the Dimensions database. The study examines the association between major metrics. Data were collected from Dimensions.ai, Altmetrics.com, WoS, Google Scholar, and analyzed. The findings suggest that all the 100 LIS articles have got at least one mention from nine different social media platforms with increased attention from Mendeley and Twitter. The article “Objectivity and realms of explanation in academic journal articles concerning sex/gender: a comparison of Gender studies and the other social sciences” authored by Therese Soderlund et al., has been the top socially cited article in Dimensions with an altmetricss attention score of 684. The study found a weak positive correlation between social media citation with major citations from Web of Science (r=0.19), Google Scholar(r=0.18) and Dimensions(r=0.19). This is the first of its kind study to measure the social media attention of LIS articles based on the Dimensions dataset and the result gives more insights to LIS authors for evaluating the societal impact of their research using altmetricss indicators. |
