Social Media Dissemination
• 170 Cochrane schizophrenia reviews were randomly assigned to dissemination via Twitter or control
• Primary outcome (# of page visits 7 days after intervention: 1162 (Twitter) vs. 449 (control)
• Users stayed on the page twice as long in the Twitter group vs. control

@EMARIANOMD
The “Twimpact Factor”• “Tweetations” (cumulative Tweets within 7
days of publication) and citations show moderate correlation (Pearson r=0.57-0.89)
• Highly Tweeted articles are 11 times more likely to be cited
