Thy various works, imperial queen, we see,
How bright their forms! how deck'd with pomp by thee!

(from 'On Imagination' by Phillis Wheatley [1753–1784])

This repository contains code and results for analyzing the Twitter audiences of various papers and preprints in genetics and genomics.

To reproduce these analyses or run Audiences on your own paper(s), you will first need to set up a Twitter developer account for access to the Twitter API. Once completed, update the app name, consumer keys, and access keys in config.yaml.

Running render_reports.R will generate a separate report for each of the papers listed in papers.txt by their Altmetric URLs (one per line). Reports are based on the report_template.rmd RMarkdown template.

Reports will be written to output/reports and thumbnail images for each report to output/figures.

A custom landing page for the reports, hosted on Github Pages, can be generated with the following commands. Note that this requires Hugo and MkDocs with the cinder theme are installed on your system.

# generate data/items.toml, containing the links to reports to include in landing page python generate_links.py # build the landing page into _docs/static/ based on the hugrid Hugo template in themes/hugrid/ # - requires config.toml and data/items.toml hugo # build with mkdocs into docs/ # - requires mkdocs.yml and contents of _docs/ mkdocs build -d docs # copy the reports & thumbnails into docs/static/ rsync -r output/ docs/static # push changes to github and the documentation will be available at https://carjed.github.io/audiences/
