A detailed analysis of messages posted on the ‘Turk-Orthopod’ mailing list over a 13-year period
Abstract
Methods: All messages posted to the ‘Turk-Orthopod’ mailing list were documented and categorized by 4 orthopedic surgeons who were active members of the mailing list into 11 categories based on the content of the messages.
Results: A total of 15,699 messages were evaluated and included in the analysis. The mean number of daily messages in 2000 was 0.98 messages/day and increased to 7.23 messages/day in 2013. The most common type of message was announcements (37.5%) about national or international congresses, conferences, symposia, meetings, and panels. The second most common type of message was condolence messages (11.7%). Case discussions and academic discussions comprised 6.3% and 4.5% of the messages, respectively.
Conclusion: The ‘Turk-Orthopod’ mailing list serves primarily as an information board and a powerful social media platform for communication among Turkish orthopedic surgeons. However, scientific case discussions and other professional issues comprise a minority of the messages.
