5/6 Avian researchers now regularly promote their published research on Twitter and their individual impact/contribution can be measured using #altmetrics (1). Research institutes can use @altmetric data to track the reach of their published research (2) #BOU18TC

4/6 Using @altmetric data we found Twitter contributes 73% of all #altmetrics in #ornithology. For avian researchers, contributing to their own articles' #altmetrics is easy using #socialmedia which accounts for 85% of overall #altmetrics across #ornithology articles #BOU18TC

3/6 Each media is ranked based on reach/audience and scores accordingly (1). Digital tools built in to online papers allow for instant access/sharing of articles w/ @Altmetric Attention Score (#altmetrics) of article clear to see (2) #BOU18TC

2/6 The rise of Twitter as a tool for researchers can be tracked by the growth of @IBIS_journal followers (largest #ornithology society journal a/c on Twitter) and use by delegates at BOU conferences. The introduction of #altmetrics in 2014 saw a huge increase in users #BOU18TC

1/6 Twitter is #socialmedia platform of choice in #ornithology. The #ornithology tag has global daily reach of >1m (1). Our Twitter community is large enough to hold global Twitter conferences with wider participation/reach and greener than face-to-face events (2) #BOU18TC

Interesting #BOU18TC talk on bird feeding and it's consequences on individual and population level!

Tune in on Wednesday at 1220 UTC/GMT for my #BOU18TC presentation on the growth of Twitter within our #ornithology community and how researchers’ own, and our community as a whole, social media activity can contribute to citations of avian science research articles

Apologies to #BTcon18 and #WSTC4 peeps for my earlier clumsy tweet. Not meant to be a criticism, was trying to point out difference with #BOU18TC. I love and support both events wholeheartedly!
