Objective: Communication between community components and academia has always been of interest. Identify this interaction; it is conceivable to evaluate the impact of academia researches on distinct components of society (like government, people, industry), and Triple Helix is one of the leading models in this regard. Due to the growing presence of users in social networks, as well as the possibility of monitoring their web metrics like the number of likes, visits, sharing, bookmarks, comments, hashtags,,etc., the present study attempted to distinguish the capacity of social networks to explore the interaction between society components and the academia based on the Triple Helix model. To Better understand these capacities, evidences for COVID19 researches on social media were provided.Method: This is desk research using an evidence-based approach.Findings and Conclusions: According to Helix models, social networks have outstanding potential in discovering the abovementioned sectors of the society, especially understanding web-based communications. However, in such analyzes, it is crucial to consider dimensions of web metrics according to users' level, timing, thematic context, normalization, experts in a specific field, etc., to present accurate and realtime data to policymakers in science, technology, and innovation. Regarding the capabilities provided in this article, there are considerations in interpreting Weber's metrics that are presented in this work.

Background and Objectives: this survey was conducted to study the altmetrics status of journals in three countries of Iran, Turkey, and occupied Palestinian in two science citations and social science citation indexes. Moreover, the identification of those policy documents derived from these outputs was the other objective of the current study.Methodology: This was applied research conducted with a descriptive method utilizing scientometrics and altmetrics indicators. journals indexed in the Science and Social Sciences Citation Indexes of the Web of Science was extracted using the citation reports for all three mentioned countries separately on 2018.Findings: The results showed that Iran had the highest number of articles indexed in the science and social sciences indexes, as well as the highest indexed journals. Furthermore, in all countries, the indexed journals in Science have received the most attention in social media. Less than half of the Iranian publications, Turkey and occupied Palestine in both indexes have been referred to in policy documents, while Turkish got more mentions. The medical and environmental related subjects were at the main concentration of the most policy documents in the mentioned countries. Discussion: Given the importance of referring to scientific publication/outputs in policy, documents are really important to express the impact of research, designing and taking action which leads to the higher quality and wider coverage of policy documents by altmetrics providers.
