6/ In short:
✔️ Academic impact
✔️ Prestigious journals
✔️ Qualified online engagement
✖️ Social-media-driven attention

7/ Bottom line: When it comes to influencing policy, rigor beats virality.

4/ Mentions in news outlets and blogs help too.
But X/Twitter mentions surprisingly have a negative effect.

5/ Why? Policymakers seem to trust research with academic credibility, not studies that rely mainly on social media visibility.

2/ The strongest predictor: scholarly citations.
Papers widely cited in academia are far more likely to appear in policy documents.

3/ Publishing in high-impact journals and having more Mendeley readers also boosts policy uptake.

7/ Moraleja: Calidad mejor que Viralidad cuando se trata de influir en políticas públicas.

6/ Resumen:
✔️ Citas académicas
✔️ Revistas prestigiosas
✔️ Lectores y medios
✖️ Dependencia de redes sociales

4/ La cobertura en prensa y blogs ayuda.
Pero las menciones en X tienen un efecto negativo.

5/ ¿Por qué? Los policymakers parecen confiar más en impacto académico que en viralidad en redes.

2/ Los papers más citados por académicos son también los más citados en políticas. La reputación científica sigue mandando.

3/ Publicar en revistas de alto impacto y tener más lectores en Mendeley aumenta las probabilidades de influir en políticas.

8/8 Final Thought:

The bridge between science & tech is complex. Open access helps, but industry favors profit-driven innovation over societal impact.

Should this change?

7/8 Social Media? Minimal Influence.
- Twitter/X mentions, author count, etc., have almost no effect on patent citations.
- Industry looks for utility, not buzz

6/8 Blogs & Mendeley ≠ Industry Impact
While academic visibility (blogs, Mendeley reads) boosts citations among researchers, it has little effect on patents.

📢 Takeaway: Scholarly engagement ≠ commercial applicability

5/8 Does Funding Help? Surprisingly, No.
- More funding (often tied to applied research) reduces patent citations. 
- Fully OA journals (Gold OA) also see fewer patent citations.
 
🤔 Possible reason: Basic research may drive more unexpected breakthroughs

4/8 Policy-Driven Research? Less Likely in Patents.
Papers addressing societal challenges (policy-focused) are cited less in patents. 

💼 Why? Industry prioritizes commercially viable innovations over social impact

3/8 Discipline Matters!
- Biochemistry, Pharmacology & Engineering show strong industry links. 
- Math & Physics follow different innovation pathways. 

🔬 Implication: Not all fields influence patents the same way

2/8 Open Access = More Patent Citations!
- OA papers (especially hybrid/green) are 7x more likely to be cited in patents than those mentioned in blogs. 
- They also get 2x more citations than older, paywalled research. 

📌 Lesson: Removing paywalls accelerates tech innovation

🔍 Disciplina, región y experiencia también influyen, mientras que género y tipo de institución no.

¿Tú publicas preprints? ¿Qué ventajas o retos ves? 🤔

✅ Pros: Early access to research is a BIG plus!
❌ Cons: Early feedback? Not so much.

🌍 Discipline, experience, and region matter — but gender/org type don’t.
