Abstract:
Social media platforms have revolutionized scientific communication by bridging gaps between researchers, academic journals, and global audiences. This article showcases iMeta, an open-access journal that leverages a diversified social media framework to enhance bilingual dissemination, boost full-text downloads, and amplify international influence. Since its editorial board founded, iMeta has achieved a series of milestones: integrating platforms like WeChat, Bilibili, X (formerly Twitter), YouTube, and BlueSky; launching iMeta-branded journals iMetaOmics and iMetaMed; and being indexed in prominent databases including PubMed, SCIE, and ESI. As of August 2025, the journal has recorded 1,334,761 full-text downloads and 10,560 total citations, with a 2024 impact factor of 33.2. A significant positive correlation between downloads and citations highlights how strategic social media integration and iMeta's growth drive visibility and influence, positioning it as a leading journal in its field.
