论文摘要
COVID-19大流行的爆发伴随着大量的科学研究和相关的Twitter讨论。 To unravel the public concerns about the COVID-19 crisis reflected in the science-based Twitter conversations, this study tracked the Twitter attention around the COVID-19 research efforts during the first three months of 2020. On the basis of nearly 1.4 million Twitter mentions of 6,162 COVID-19-related scientific publications, we investigated the temporal tweeting dynamic and the Twitter users involved in the online discussions around COVID-19-related research.结果表明，Twitter的数量提及了Covid-19相关的出版物的数量正在上升。以学术为导向的Twitter用户在传播Covid-19的研究输出中发挥了重要作用，他们的推文经常转发。随着时间的流逝，可以观察到Twitter讨论重点的变化，从最初的关注到病毒学和临床研究到更实用的主题，例如潜在的治疗方法，政府的对策，医疗保健措施以及对经济和社会的影响，在最近的时代。
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has been accompanied by a bulk of scientific research and related Twitter discussions. To unravel the public concerns about the COVID-19 crisis reflected in the science-based Twitter conversations, this study tracked the Twitter attention around the COVID-19 research efforts during the first three months of 2020. On the basis of nearly 1.4 million Twitter mentions of 6,162 COVID-19-related scientific publications, we investigated the temporal tweeting dynamic and the Twitter users involved in the online discussions around COVID-19-related research. The results show that the quantity of Twitter mentions of COVID-19-related publications was on rising. Scholarly-oriented Twitter users played an influential role in disseminating research outputs on COVID-19, with their tweets being frequently retweeted. Over time, a change in the focus of the Twitter discussions can be observed, from the initial attention to virological and clinical research to more practical topics, such as the potential treatments, the countermeasures by the governments, the healthcare measures, and the influences on the economy and society, in more recent times.
