Earlier this week I wrote a guest post (https://web.archive.org/web/20161026234447/http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2012/02/09/more-tweets-more-citations/?) for the Impact of Social Sciences blog. In the post I talk about a recent paper correlating tweets and citations (also discussed on this blog (https://web.archive.org/web/20161026234447/http://blogs.plos.org/mfenner/2011/12/20/crowdometer-or-trying-to-understand-tweets-about-journal-papers/?)). But the main argument I try to make is that tweets are a powerful filter for personalized scholarly content:
A few years from now the “personalized journal” will have replaced the traditional journal as the primary means to discover new scholarly papers with impact to our work.
