Many altmetric studies analyze which papers were mentioned how often in specific altmetrics sources. In order to study the potential policy relevance of tweets from another perspective, we investigate which tweets were cited in papers. If many tweets were cited in publications, this might demonstrate that tweets have substantial and useful content. Overall, a rather low number of tweets (n=5506) were cited by less than 3000 papers. Most tweets do not seem to be cited because of any cognitive influence they might have had on studies; they rather were study objects. Most of the papers citing tweets are from the subject areas Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities, and Computer Sciences. Most of the papers cited only one tweet. Up to 55 tweets cited in a single paper were found. This research-in-progress does not support a high policy-relevance of tweets. However, a content analysis of the tweets and/or papers might lead to a more detailed conclusion.

哪些论文引用了哪些推文？基于 Scopus 数据的实证分析

许多替代指标研究分析了哪些论文在特定的替代指标来源中被提及的频率。为了从另一个角度研究推文的潜在政策相关性，我们调查了论文中引用了哪些推文。如果在出版物中引用了许多推文，这可能表明推文具有实质性和有用的内容。总体而言，只有不到 3000 篇论文引用了相当少的推文 (n=5506)。大多数推文似乎没有被引用，因为它们可能对研究产生了任何认知影响；它们更像是研究对象。大多数引用推文的论文来自社会科学、艺术和人文科学以及计算机科学等学科领域。大多数论文只引用了一条推文。发现了在一篇论文中引用的多达 55 条推文。这项正在进行的研究不支持推文的高度政策相关性。但是，对推文和/或论文的内容分析可能会得出更详细的结论。
