在科学文献领域使用社交媒体平台（SMP）是一个新的和不断发展的领域。在过去的几年里，我们看到了许多新颖的策略来促进读者对文章的参与。本研究的目的是衡量作者对在线社交媒体教育材料的接受程度、意见和参与创作的意愿。我们在基于云的平台（SurveyMonkey）上对印度流变学杂志的作者进行了一项经过验证和匿名的横断面电子调查。使用描述性统计，数值表示为每个答案的受访者人数（n）。在408位作者中，有102位回复。我们发现，绝大多数人（74人）支持在SMP上晋升。视觉摘要（81）是最受欢迎的促销手段。相当一部分（54名）提交人认为，他们可以自己制作这些材料，几乎不需要指导。然而，目前只有少数国家（47个）这样做。社交媒体编辑对风湿病学的认识令人沮丧（4）。引文是文章可见性的首选指标（95），其次是altmetrics（21）。这些发现表明，作者支持在SMP上进行文章促销，尽管大多数人不促销他们的文章。图形摘要是首选的促销手段。此外，对物流的看法存在分歧，需要进行更大规模的研究，以了解需要解决的因素，以弥合差距。
The use of social media platforms (SMPs) in the field of scientific literature is a new and evolving realm. The past few years have seen many novel strategies to promote engagement of readers with articles. The aim of this study was to gauge the acceptance, opinion, and willingness to partake in the creation of online social media educative material among authors. We conducted a validated and anonymized cross-sectional e-survey with purposive sampling among authors of the Indian Journal of Rheumatology journal over a cloud-based platform (SurveyMonkey). Descriptive statistics are used and values expressed as the number of respondents (n) against each answer. Of 408 authors, 102 responded. We found that a large majority (74) supported promotions on SMPs. Visual abstracts (81) were the most preferred means for promotion. A reasonable proportion (54) of the authors held the view that they could make these materials for themselves, with little guidance. However, currently only a few (47) were doing so. Awareness on social media editors in rheumatology was dismal (4). Citations were the preferred metric of article visibility (95), followed by altmetrics (21). These findings suggest that authors support article promotions on SMPs, although most do not promote their articles. Graphical abstracts are the preferred means of promotions. Further, the opinion on logistics is divided, calling for larger studies to understand the factors that need to be addressed to bridge the gap.
