Recent efforts have investigated the effect of the use of social media environments on scholarly practice. For example, some research has looked at how scientists use the microblogging platform Twitter during conferences by analyzing tweets containing conference hashtags \cite{julie,weller:2011}. Other research has explored the ways by which scholars use Twitter and related platforms to cite scientific articles \cite{priem,weller}. More recent work has shown that Twitter article mentions predict future citations \cite{Eysenbach_2011}. This article falls within, and extends, these lines of research by examining the temporal relations between quantitative measures of readership, Twitter mentions, and subsequent citations for a cohort of scientific preprints.
