Not the real TWIMPACT…
You might have stumbled upon the paper “Can Tweets Predict Citations? Metrics of Social Impact Based on Twitter and Correlation with Traditional Metrics of Scientific Impact” by Gunther Eysenbach in which a measure called “twimpact” is proposed. Unfortunately, this work has nothing to do with us, and as it seems, his paper also contains some methodological flaws. One can only wonder how he wasn’t aware of the “other” twimpact, a small search on twitter would have been enough to reveal that the name already exists… .
