DESCRIPTION:Topic: Disseminating scientific research via Twitter: Practical
  insights and research evidence\n\nSpeaker: Katja Reuter\, PhD\, Assistant
  Professor of Clinical Preventive Medicine at the Institute for Health Pro
 motion and Disease Prevention Research in the Department of Preventive Med
 icine at the Keck School of Medicine of USC\; Director of Digital Innovati
 on and Communication for the Southern California Clinical and Translationa
 l Research Institute (SC CTSI).\n\nOverview: About one-fifth of current sc
 ientific papers are being shared on Twitter. With 230 million active users
  and 24 percent of the U.S. online population using the microblogging plat
 form\, hopes are high that tweets mentioning scientific articles reflect s
 ome type of interest by the general public and might even be able to measu
 re the societal impact of research. However\, early studies show that most
  of the engagement with scientific papers on Twitter takes place among mem
 bers of academia and thus reflects visibility within the scientific commun
 ity rather than impact on society. At the same time\, some tweets do not i
 nvolve any human engagement but rather are generated automatically by Twit
 ter bots.\n\nThis talk focuses on identifying audiences on Twitter and tea
 ches participants how to collect\, analyze\, visualize\, and interpret dif
 fusion patterns of scientific articles on Twitter. The course will provide
  an overview of altmetrics research and present the challenges – includi
 ng methods and first results – of classifying Twitter user groups\, with
  a particular focus on identifying members of the general public and measu
 ring societal impact. The course will provide hands-on exercises and instr
 uctions on how to analyze by whom\, when\, and how scientific papers are s
 hared on Twitter. \n\nRegister Here\n\nFor questions\, please contact Katj
