TL;DR: A social media strategy of Twitter promotion for cardiovascular medicine papers seems to be associated with increased online visibility and higher number of citations.
Abstract: AIMS The association between the dissemination of scientific articles on Twitter and online visibility (including Altmetric score) is still controversial and the impact on citation rates has never been addressed for cardiovascular medicine journals. METHODS AND RESULTS The ESC Journals Study randomized 696 papers published in the ESC Journals family (March 2018-May 2019) for promotion on Twitter or to a control arm (with no active tweeting from ESC channels) and aimed to assess if Twitter promotion was associated with an increase in citation rate (primary endpoint) and Altmetric score. This is a preliminary analysis of 536 articles (77% of total) published until December 2018 (therefore, papers published at least 6 months before collecting citation and Altmetrics data). In the analysis of the primary endpoint, Twitter promotion of articles was associated with a 1.43 (95% confidence interval 1.29-1.58) higher rate of citations, and this effect was independent of the type of article. Both Altmetric score and number of users tweeting were positively associated with the number of citations in both arms, with evidence of a stronger association (interaction) in the Twitter arm. CONCLUSION Therefore, a social media strategy of Twitter promotion for cardiovascular medicine papers seems to be associated with increased online visibility and higher number of citations. The final analysis will include 696 papers and 2-year scientific citation rate and is estimated to be concluded in March 2021.

TL;DR: The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in widespread, global social distancing, which has accelerated the argument of further incorporating educational content delivered through social media platforms such as Twitter into mainstream remote-learning tools.
Abstract: Social media is a powerful tool that has the potential to transform continuing medical education (CME). Whilst online learning in medical education is well established—from medical school to practising physicians—its advantages over conventional teaching methods remain unclear. Social media, in particular Twitter, has emerged as a new educational medium, and more recently there has been discussion about translating the educational content of Twitter into formal CME. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in widespread, global social distancing. Accordingly, it has accelerated the argument of further incorporating educational content delivered through social media platforms such as Twitter into mainstream remote-learning tools.

TL;DR: Information and guidance is provided regarding the role and use of social media platforms in cardiovascular medicine, with an emphasis on the new opportunities for the dissemination of scientific information and continuing education that arise from their responsible use.
Abstract: Social media increasingly impact both the private and professional lives of the majority of the population, including individuals engaged in cardiovascular healthcare and research. Healthcare providers across the world use social media platforms such as Twitter or Facebook to find medical and scientific information, to follow scientific meetings, to discuss individual clinical cases with colleagues, and to engage with patients. While social media provide a means for fast, interactive and accessible communication without geographic boundaries, their use to obtain and disseminate information has limitations and the potential threats are not always clearly understood. Governance concerns include a lack of rigorous quality control, bias due to the pre-selection of presented content by filter algorithms, and the risk of inadvertent breach of patient confidentiality. This article provides information and guidance regarding the role and use of social media platforms in cardiovascular medicine, with an emphasis on the new opportunities for the dissemination of scientific information and continuing education that arise from their responsible use.
