Do only major scientific breakthroughs hit the news and social media, or does
a 'catchy' title help to attract public attention? How strong is the connection
between the importance of a scientific paper and the (social) media attention
it receives? In this study we investigate these questions by analysing the
relationship between the observed attention and certain characteristics of
scientific papers from two major multidisciplinary journals: Nature
Communication (NC) and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
We describe papers by features based on the linguistic properties of their
titles and centrality measures of their authors in their co-authorship network.
We identify linguistic features and collaboration patterns that might be
indicators for future attention, and are characteristic to different journals,
research disciplines, and media sources.
