Want some hackathon friendly altmetrics data? arXiv tweets dataset now up on figshare by Euan Adie.
From the post:
The dataset contains details of approximately 57k tweets linking to arXiv papers, found between 1st January and 1st October this year. You’ll need to supplement it with data from the arXiv API if you need metadata about the preprints linked to. The dataset does contain follower counts and lat/lng pairs for users where possible, which could be interesting to plot.
Euan has some suggested research directions and more details on the data set.
Something to play with during the holiday “down time.” 😉
I first saw this in a tweet by Jason Priem.
