Abstract

Objective: To analyse the social dissemination of the publications by fulltime faculty at a tertiary care facility.
Methods: The retrospective study was conducted at the Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, and comprised
publication records of the fulltime Operative Dentistry faculty members between July 2011 till July 2021. The search
was done on Google Scholar, Altmetric Explorer and PubMed electronic databases. After the final screening, all the
publications in PubMed-indexed journals, including in vitro studies, randomised controlled trials, original research
articles, case reports and letters to the editor, for which the Altmetric Attention Score was available were included.
Results: Of the 225 publications identified, 34 (15%) formed the final sample. The cumulative citation count for the
publications was 617 and Altmetric Attention Score was 158. There were 16 Facebook mentions and 163 tweets.
Conclusion: The social impact of publications by the Operative Dentistry faculty over a decade was not convincing
in terms of Altmetric Attention Score.
