With the significant increase in the use of social media, it is becoming increasingly crucial to understand how scientific publications are disseminated and debated on these online platforms. The analysis of these interactions and the circulation of scientific research has been the subject of study in the field of altmetrics, offering important results on the perception and sharing of science by the general public. This paper aims to present an innovative platform for collecting and analyzing social data related to scientific publications, with an emphasis on the video-sharing platform YouTube. The platform, called Social4Science, was developed to collect and analyze social data from YouTube, providing a deeper understanding of how scientific publications are disseminated and discussed on social media. By correlating social data with scientific information, Social4Science offers a comprehensive analysis of various metrics, making it possible to identify trends and patterns in discussions about scientific publications. The results obtained indicate that the proposed platform is highly promising, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the interaction between science and the public. In addition, it opens up new perspectives for future research in this area, highlighting its potential for significant advances.
