Conclusion: Tweets can predict highly

cited articles within the first 3 days of

article publication. Social media activity

either increases citations or reflects the

underlying qualities of the article that

also predict citations, but the true use of

these metrics is to measure the distinct

concept of social impact.

Conclusion: We also find that the

volume of Twitter mentions is statistically

correlated with arXiv downloads and

early citations just months after the

publication of a preprint, with a possible

bias that favours highly mentioned

articles.
