It has been suggested that the "visibility" of an article influences its citation count. More specifically, it is believed that the social media can influence article citations.Here we tested the hypothesis that inclusion of scholarly references in Wikipedia affects the citation trends. To perform this analysis, we introduced a citation "propensity" measure, which is inspired by the concept of amino acid propensity for protein secondary structures. We show that although citation counts generally increase during time, the citation "propensity" does not increase after inclusion of a reference in Wikipedia.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how social media plays a role in spreading COVID-19 information and compares traditional citation counts with Altmetric Attention Scores (AAS) for the top 100 articles on COVID-19.
- Researchers identified these articles, noting AAS, source journals, and social media mentions, with a focus on popularity across platforms like Twitter and Facebook.
- The findings showed a median AAS of 4922.50 and a citation count of 24, suggesting that while Altmetrics can enhance understanding of article reach, they positively correlate with traditional citations.
