TweetPap: a dataset to study the social media discourse of scientific papers

Nowadays, researchers have moved to platforms like Twitter to spread information about their ideas and empirical evidence. Recent studies have shown that social media affects the scientific impact of a paper. However, these studies only utilize the tweet counts to represent Twitter activity.
