Subject: Re: social media and citations
Hello diane!
I know this may be a huge conflict of interest but I would invite you to check frontiersin.org.
They have developers working on the correlation of social media and citations. What we notice in the journals is that papers usually get more cited when part of a collection of articles than individually. One can assume that it is because so many authors are involved and spreading the word on their communities. I think you may find this info there.
