Internet and Social Media Contribute to Medical Research Journal Growth

      Abstract

      In 2010, our editorial team wrote about the Internet’s inarguable role in overloading information on our readers. In this editorial, we reflect on insights gained, mostly in the past decade, regarding the Internet and social media. Medical and surgical information online is easy to obtain, but it varies from platform to platform, is low in quality and reliability, and overestimates the public’s ability to decipher the information. Physicians do not use social media enough, or well. Social media can engage patients and can inform patients about the quality of medical and surgical information online. Physicians, themselves, can provide reliable information that informs patients and eases their minds. Physician-authors can use social media to develop communities with shared interests in research; members of these communities can post research findings and highlight the publications in which they find them. Discussion of research online increases the likelihood that it will be cited. It is no surprise that the Internet and social media have contributed to the growth of Arthroscopy; Arthroscopy Techniques; and Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation.

      In 2010, more than a decade ago, our editorial team wrote about the Internet’s inarguable role in overloading information on our readers. Also inarguably, the Internet’s overloading has exploded. At the same time, Arthroscopy has experienced rapid growth. Since the introduction of our online submission process and of the electronic version of the journal, we have seen a surge in submissions and a significant increase in readership.

      Information overload: Technology, the Internet, and arthroscopy.
      Arthroscopy. 2010; 26: 1141-1143
      As a result, we have introduced two open-access journals: Arthroscopy Techniques and Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation. Arthroscopy Podcasts recently recorded its 150th episode. Arthroscopy infographics and visual abstracts relieve information overload by quickly delivering impactful insights through reader-friendly social media. In this editorial, we reflect on insights gained, mostly in the past decade, regarding the Internet and social media.“The problem with the Internet is that it gives you everything—reliable material and crazy material. So, the problem becomes, how do you discriminate?”

      If you, the reader, agree with Umberto Eco, you will not be surprised by the results of reports in our journals that investigated the quality of online information about knee arthroscopy, meniscal injuries, platelet-rich plasma, femoroacetabular impingement, hip arthroscopy, and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and reconstruction.

      Using social media, physicians can direct patients to scientifically supported treatments and higher quality information that targets frequently seen conditions. As a specialty, we need to do our best to ensure the quality, educational character, and readability of information available online.
      Social media as measured by Altmetrics can provide an effective forum for discussion of recent research. Authors can develop communities that share research interests and encourage those communities to examine and highlight publications. This could stimulate and improve further research. Online discussion of research can increase the likelihood that publications will reach a wider audience.
      Finally, and unsurprisingly, the Internet and social media have contributed to the growth of Arthroscopy; Arthroscopy Techniques; and Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation. Social media allows our journals to reach every member of every society in the entire world who has access to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, or LinkedIn.
      This is a laudable step toward equity and unbiased opportunity.
