Social Media in Medicine Research Library

The team at Symplur have teamed up with Stanford to compile a comprehensive library (217 articles!) of medical publications on social media. You can sort the list by altimetric score, title, first author's last name, yet, journal or impact factor. Looks very cool.

There are 7 articles on social media with an Altimetric score over 200!

#NephJC 28 - Stats

North American Chat 

GMT chat

Quite close - and the stats from Symplur don't capture all the differences. Very different feel, and discussion. Storify to follow.

The NephJC 23 (warfarin) American chat Storify - and analytics

It was pretty well attended...

So was the GMT chat next day...

NephJC 22: GMT chat

The American chat (mostly by virtue of its longevity) still has more participants and tweets, but the GMT (EU/African) chat makes up by being fun and entertaining. Tom Oates, Paul Phelan, Francesco and their merry band of tweeters make for delightful reading. Jungle Juice, scud missiles and more. See some highlights below

@NephJC I never do EKG before starting quinolone, but always ask the patient: how long is your QTc? ;) #nephjc

@ThePeanutKidney @NephJC Ideally when we use the untested jungle juice (cido,leflun,IVIg) we should do it as part of a study #nephjc

@NephJC nephrology's equivalent of a Scud missile - probably effective but lots of collateral damage #nephJC
