In this study, a content analysis of the @epoorg account was performed. The description of the EPO on social networks has never been researched thus far. Using the Tractor software, 19,565 tweets were downloaded and uploaded to the Graphext platform, which uses machine learning to perform topic analysis. Twenty main clusters were identified, which, once organized, engendered the following four main content groups: awards, training, events, and thematic. The thematic contents that the EPO addresses include industry 4.0, cancer, COVID-19, battery innovation, clean energy, climate change. The content is balanced: no country stands out.}, organization = {Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities (Spain) Grant Nº: RTI2018-098966-B-I00}, organization = {University of Granada: PP2022.PP.32}, publisher = {Elsevier}, keywords = {European Patent Office}, keywords = {EPO}, keywords = {Twitter}, keywords = {Content analysis}, title = {European Patent Office (EPO) en Twitter: A content analysis}, doi = {10.1016/j.wpi.2023.102213}, author = {Herrero Solana, Víctor and Faba-Pérez, Cristina}, }
