Wetenschap en Twitter

Artikel van Julie Letierce, Alexandre Passant, John Breslin en Stefan Decker getiteld "Understanding how Twitter is used to spread scientific messages" in Proceedings of the WebSci10: Extending the Frontiers of Society On-Line, April 26-27th, 2010, Raleigh, NC: US.

"According to a survey we recently conducted, Twitter was ranked in the top three services used by Semantic Web researchers to spread information. In order to understand how Twitter is practically used for spreading scienti c messages, we captured tweets containing the official hashtags of three conferences and studied (1) the type of content that researchers are more likely to tweet, (2) how they do it, and Finally (3) if their tweets can reach other communities in addition to their own. In addition, we also conducted some interviews to complete our understanding of researchers' motivation to use Twitter during conferences.".
