What did you do?

I built a Shiny web app on those recent publications of our university that have been tweeted by their DOI. For this, I first queried CrossRef Event Data with crevents, extracted the tweet status id’s from the result, and then fetched the tweet text and other info with rtweet. For the whole story, see my blog post.
