Figure 1A: The x-axis starts on July 9, 2019 (when the first #neoTwitter tweet was posted by a neonatal stakeholder) until January 22, 2022. The y-axis represents the number of tweets, and it is truncated at 500 tweets; two days had over 500 tweets (1977 tweets on July 31, 2021, and 913 tweets on August 1, 2021). Tweets that were both quotes and replies were counted as quotes. A vertical black line represents November 17, 2020, when #neoTwitter was registered. Figure 1B: This table shows users that represented ACGME (Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education) accredited neonatal-perinatal medicine fellowship programs, academic departments and divisions of neonatology, PubMed-Indexed journals and a medical publisher that used #neoTwitter. One user represented both a neonatal-perinatal medicine fellowship program and an academic division of neonatology.
