The media play a vital role in science communication, and media coverage of scientific articles is influential and encouraged. Altmetric scores are ‘alternative metrics’ that complement traditional citation-based metrics. They are an extensive group of metrics based on scientific articles’ mainstream media coverage or mentions on social media networks, among other factors.1 In sports science journals, Altmetric scores have a stronger relationship with citations than journal impact factor or open access status.2 Funding bodies value citations creating an incentive for academics to promote their work in the media, but this could result in high-quality research competing with media agency priorities. Journalists play an essential role in disseminating research findings to a wider audience.3 They have a difficult job translating complex messages under deadline into stories that people will both read and understand.4 It is a delicate situation whereby journalists play a vital role in shaping healthcare utilisation and beliefs3 but do not always have the time and skills to interpret research findings or critically report their flaws. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon that weaker studies, preliminary findings and publications with positive results may attract headlines and higher Altmetric scores, whereas studies with a robust design but a null effect may not.5 6 This commentary aims to examine the Altmetric score of two recently published studies that investigated the relationship between exercise …

成为第一的影响:比较两项研究运动与 COVID-19 之间关系的研究的媒体报道

媒体在科学传播中发挥着至关重要的作用,科学文章的媒体报道具有影响力和鼓励性。Altmetric 分数是补充传统基于引用的指标的“替代指标”。它们是基于科学文章的主流媒体报道或社交媒体网络提及等因素的广泛指标。1 在体育科学期刊中,与期刊影响因子或开放获取状态相比,Altmetric 分数与引用的关系更强。2资助机构重视引用,从而激励学者在媒体上宣传他们的工作,但这可能导致高质量的研究与媒体机构的优先事项竞争。记者在向更广泛的受众传播研究成果方面发挥着重要作用。3 他们很难在最后期限内将复杂的信息翻译成人们可以阅读和理解的故事。 4 这是一个微妙的情况,记者在塑造医疗保健利用和信念方面发挥着至关重要的作用 3 但并不总是有时间和技能来解释研究结果或批判性地报告其缺陷。不幸的是,较弱的研究、初步发现和具有积极结果的出版物可能会吸引头条新闻和更高的 Altmetric 分数,而设计稳健但无效的研究可能不会。5 6 本评论旨在检验 Altmetric 得分为 2最近发表的研究调查了运动之间的关系…… 4 这是一种微妙的情况,记者在塑造医疗保健利用和信念方面发挥着至关重要的作用3,但并不总是有时间和技能来解释研究结果或批判性地报道他们的缺陷。不幸的是,较弱的研究、初步发现和具有积极结果的出版物可能会吸引头条新闻和更高的 Altmetric 分数,而设计稳健但无效的研究可能不会。5 6 本评论旨在检验 Altmetric 得分为 2最近发表的研究调查了运动之间的关系…… 4 这是一种微妙的情况,记者在塑造医疗保健利用和信念方面发挥着至关重要的作用3,但并不总是有时间和技能来解释研究结果或批判性地报道他们的缺陷。不幸的是,较弱的研究、初步发现和具有积极结果的出版物可能会吸引头条新闻和更高的 Altmetric 分数,而设计稳健但无效的研究可能不会。5 6 本评论旨在检验 Altmetric 得分为 2最近发表的研究调查了运动之间的关系……
