Hi #science #research #mastodon community! A few days ago, a post of mine recieved a lot of attention. Thanks for the engagement and the very interesting suggestions! https://neuromatch.social/@LeonDLotter/109632615134117119
On #Twitter, I loved the common practice of writing threads explaining new #preprints and #papers in an understandable way.
I uttered my concern that through the chronological timeline here people might miss interesting science. A solution would be to agree on names for hashtags and/or a.gup.pe groups to ease tracking these "paper threads".
Following tags were named more then once: #newPaper #paperThread #preprint #researchPaper #mastoPrint #tootPrint.
Also, there was #tootorial, but that might be a slightly different category?
I heard people like participation - so let's do a poll! What's your favourite tag for threads explaining research articles? 📊 Multiple choices possible!

On #scienceTwitter, my favourite thing was reading and, on rare occasions, writing "paper/preprint threads". From the researchers I followed and through the #Twitter algorithm, this became my most important source for new #research.Neuromatch Social

in reply to Leon Lotter • • •I had to drop one tag bc of the 5-option limit in polls, and I went for #mastoPrint as it was my own suggestion.)
Some further thoughts:
One could combine these tags in a standardized way with research field names, e.g. #newNeuroPaper, #neuroPreprint, or #neuroPaperThread.
Also, please remember to use #camelCase or #CamelCase notation in these tags for screenreader accessibility!
