Altmetric found that attention for academic articles is higher on Bluesky than on similar sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.
Since Oct 25th, we have found 395,000 Bluesky posts that link to a research paper or other research object that has a scholarly identifier like a DOI, PubMed ID, URN etc. This is enormously high for a platform that has only been open since Feb to general sign-ups.
Bluesky has become a favored social media channel for research communications professionals and academics... in our own research we found over 22% of researchers were using Bluesky.
By contrast, Altmetric pointed out that the #AcademicTwitter audience on what is now X posted research a mere 18,000 times in June 2011, when the platform was already six years old and had 100 million users.
