Orthodontic research goes viral, boosting impact through social media sharing.
Social media is a powerful tool for sharing and discussing orthodontic research. Using platforms like blogs and networking sites can increase the visibility and impact of scientific work. Research shows that sharing research on social media can lead to more citations. It's important for orthodontics to embrace social media to keep up with other medical fields. Altmetrics, or social media metrics, can help evaluate the impact of research shared online.
