Note(s):1See Supplementary file for the full list of 329 papers found in a search (12 July 2023). Search parameters: Citation Topics: 6.238 Bibliometrics, Scientometrics & Research Integrity (only English articles, Twitter within all fields). We note that Foderaro and Lorentzen (2023) are indexed in Web of Science Core Collection Citation Topic: 6.153 Climate Change - 6.153.742 Science Communication, and thus does not appear in the Supplementary file
