The annual number of publications was increased from 5 in 2007 to 1638 in 2014. There were seven main document types in Twitter-related publications, and articles were mostly used among all document types. The United States was found to be the most productive country having publications and English was the most frequently used language among all publications. Moreover, Lecturer Notes in Computer Science was the main distribution channel and computer science, engineering, and communication were the top three most popular research areas.
