Brief Report: The Impact of Social and News Media Coverage on the Dissemination of Autism Research

Auteurs: Anne Longo, Brittany N. Hand

Gepubliceerd in: Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders | Uitgave 3/2023

Abstract

We examined how sharing autism research articles via social and news media was associated with citations and downloads. We included articles published in 2019 from three autism-focused journals. Every 10 Twitter shares yielded a 4.4% increase in article downloads and 5.2% increase in citations. Articles with at least one Facebook post had 23.3% more downloads than those without. Articles with at least one news story had 56.9% more downloads and 39.3% more citations than those without. Descriptive analysis indicated the most shared, downloaded, and cited articles focused largely on treatments or interventions. Autism researchers should continue sharing articles via Twitter and news media because it increases the reach of their work and may better engage research and autism community members.
