# Twitter-Mentions
- Fetches tweets that mention papers using identifiers such as Title, DOI, Pubmed ID and PMCID and stores them in a MongoDB database.
- Tweets are assigned weights based on their content and popularity so that they can be ranked among other tweets.
- Chose not to use Twitter API owing to the API call limits (we require approx. 1 call per paper) imposed and
restricted access to old tweets (older than 7 days) through search queries.

**Note**: Install `twint` using the following command
