Promotion of Scientific Pubs on ArXiv and X on the Rise and Impacts Citations

  we find that in the first 5 years from an initial publication peer-reviewed conference papers submitted early to ArXiv gain on average 21.1+/-17.4 more citations, revised on ArXiv gain 18.4 +/- 17.6 more citations, and promoted on X gain 44.4 +/- 8 more citations. Our results show that promoting one's work on ArXiv or X has a large impact on the number of citations, as well as the number of influential citations computed by Semantic Scholar, and thereby on the career of researchers.
