Scientists in Denmark — the top 100 on social media in 2022

/0 Comments/by

Which scholars are surging ahead on the Danish social web?

In an age of populism and science denial, I feel that scientists that garner attention to themselves and their work should be celebrated.

If they only had the chance! These Danish scientists would have aced it on the TwiLi Index. Do you recognize them? See who they are at the bottom of this article.

This was why I started releasing my annual TwiLiIndex four years ago, partly in reaction to the Kardashian Index, that made fun of scientists by measuring the discrepancy between scholars’ social media following and their citations.

My own index started in Denmark, and this year I have extended it to Norway and Sweden, so there are three separate indices to compare and evaluate.

The scientists who rank on the index for their high social media followings are all respected scientists in their own right. The way I see it, there is nothing, nothing to be ashamed of. Nothing to hide.

So here it is! Here below are the top 100 scientists in Denmark in 2022.

Please take it in a positive spirit! The index takes a lot out of me, but it is also rewarding, and I will keep on releasing these indices every year until the last person says ‘good job and keep up the good work!’

You can read about the methodology of it here.

It is called the TwiLi Index (=Twitter/LinkedIn index) – and you say it like you would say ‘twilight’ without the ‘t’. It ranks academic scholars affiliated to research institutions based on their Twitter and LinkedIn following. Twitter and LinkedIn are the platforms most used by researchers and scientists in a professional sense, as they allow networking and interaction within highly specialized fields.

Since 2019, the TwiLi Index has been reviewed in several publications. Some point to its usefulness as one of many measures of researcher success that supplement bibliometric scores, citations, and educational activities.

My TwiLi Index is based on a TwiLi score. Below you will see two separate measures of scientists’ impact, centrality and pagerank on Twitter (see explanation below). To do this I partnered up with my good friend, the data scientist Lasse Hjorth Madsen, who developed a bespoke web app for Mike Young Academy to organise publicly available data extracted using the Twitter API.

Centrality and pagerank are not integrated into the scientists’ TwiLi. So for the TwiLi index that is listed below, the top 100 scientists are ranked only on their TwiLi score. Each of the top 100 scientists then have their centrality and pagerank ranks — among nearly 4,000+ scientists on Twitter in the Nordic countries — listed after their name.

Centrality

Centrality evaluates scientists as hubs for flows of information on Twitter. A scientist has ‘centrality’ if they are the shortest path between other scientists in a network. Scientists score high on centrality if they are the shortest path many times. Centrality in this case has been calculated based on a network of more than 4,000+ scientists on Twitter in the Nordic region, so if you have a centrality rank of 23 in the table below, you are the 23rd highest centrality scoring scientist among the 4,000+ scientists. If you are a scientist with a network that is outside these countries, you may score and rank lower on centrality.

Pagerank

Pagerank evaluates scientists as attractors of influential followers. It is an indirect, proxy measure of scientists’ impact based on their followers’ follower numbers on Twitter. A scientist has a high Twitter-pagerank if the people who follow them have many followers. So getting followed by another scientist who has a high following on Twitter improves your own pagerank. However, getting followed by, say, a media Twitter account with many followers will also increase a scientists’ pagerank. So pagerank tends to favour ‘celebrity’ scientists known for other things like politics, or established scientists in fields that are in the public eye.

As can be seen when you browse down the names on the index (below) it is an ‘index for Denmark’ but not a ‘Danish’ index. International scholars are well represented in the top 100.

If you are a part of the Danish science and research community, my ranking (see below) can serve as inspiration for new contacts!

Are you not on the list? This ranking is partly based on manually extracted data (see methodology here) and I may have missed a few active scientists and researchers who have large followings. If you know someone who should be on this list, (maybe you!), please write below in the comments, or write to mike@mikeyoungacademy.dk. Updated, final, 2022 rankings will be released at the end of October 2022.

Peace and conflict professor: Twitter is my platform to influence decision-makers

/0 Comments/by

In Uppsala, people may be waking up to the fact that they have a global opinion shaper in their midst

Some scientists uphold a ‘strictly-research’ – ‘only-science’ — approach to Twitter. Their tweets are only either about their own research or the research of scientists in their own field.

Other scientists, sometimes more experienced ones, take a step further. They post about public issues based on their relevant expertise. In this way, a virologist might tweet about — say — vaccine policy.

Ashok Swain was recently in Nikko, Japan. In the background, the Three Wise Monkeys of the Toshogu Shrine representing the traditional ‘see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil’ phrase.

“Even if it is time-consuming and perilous, academics should actively contribute to the political debate of the country”

Ashok Swain is one of these, and he believes that his own expertise and experience obligate him to engage with the policies of this age based on his knowledge of water co-operation and conflicts between nations.

Pinned to the top of his Twitter profile is the tweet:

“If the politics of a country goes seriously wrong, all contributions academics are hoping to make will become useless. Thus, even if it is time-consuming and perilous, academics should actively contribute to the political debate of the country.”

Inspired by PhD student

Scrolling down Ashok Swain’s Twitter feed is an insight into his world as a public intellectual. He is not afraid to tweet about the conflicts and issues of the age.

Ashok Swain is Professor and Head of Department of the Department of Peace and Conflict Research in Uppsala, but he also holds the position as UNESCO Chair on International Water Cooperation, and is Editor-in-Chief of ‘Environment and Security’ journal.

He is also, as I recently found out, a top scientist on my just-released TwiLiIndex for Sweden, which ranks the top 100 scientists on social media. He does this mostly on the back of his 430,000+ followers on Twitter.

Let that sink in for a moment. That is 430,000 — a medium-sized city.

So on a sweltering day in August I called him to ask WHAT it was that made him so hot on the social networks.

“If something comes out wrong, your whole reputation is on the line. This would not be the case if you had a small number of followers. You open yourself to larger scrutiny”

“I think it was my PhD student that more or less forced me to get a Twitter account back in 2009.” Ashok Swain laughs, “and now this PhD student has become a successful scientist in his own right, and I am very active on Twitter.”

It has been his position at the crux of conflicts in South Asia, the Middle East and Africa that has generated his following, he explained to me.

“I started tweeting about politics in connection with the Indian election of 2014. Here a new regime came to power that, in a European sense, would be considered far right. And there have been other big things happening in the world, where my tweets gave a boost to my follower numbers: For example the 2019 [Pulwama] attack in Kashmir, which involved India and Pakistan in conflict,” he explains.

“But apart from South Asia I have a large number of followers in the Middle East, partly because I write a regular column for the [UAE-based, ed.] Gulf News that is also related to my area of research. I also comment quite a bit on the Nile water dispute [involving Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia], which is of course related to my area of research on water cooperation and conflict.”

Quantity has a quality of its own

With his large following, Ashok Twain is not afraid to tweet about the issues of the day, and these are more likely to be picked up by news channels by virtue of his huge following. Like his recent take on the Finnish prime minister’s dance moves that was picked up by CNN.

.. or a recent tweet that went viral:

“Once you have a certain number of followers you gain credibility, just as a result of that. But having lots of followers has its challenges, because you become a ‘target’”, he says, adding that “if something comes out wrong, your whole reputation is on the line. This would not be the case if you had a small number of followers. You open yourself to larger scrutiny.“

Awareness of the costs of not co-operating

It is not all world affairs, though. Like most scientists, Ashok Swain, has integrated his use of Twitter into a professional research routine.

“People give you feedback on your work via Twitter, and I promote their research via my Twitter account. Others help promote my own research also.”

If I was ‘just’ a researcher in Uppsala, without the following, I would not have had that reach. Twitter is significant in this way, potentially influencing decision makers

Sometimes, the high follower numbers on Twitter help Ashok Swain get his own research onto news sites in multiple countries, helping to put water co-operation on the agenda, and influencing a wider public debate.

Recent research work for Oxfam on the costs of non-cooperation of between these countries is an example of this.

“Journalists contacted me, wanting access to the paper. And it was covered in both Bangladesh, India and Nepal. If I was ‘just’ a researcher in Uppsala, without the following, I would not have had that reach. Twitter is significant in this way, potentially influencing decision makers,” he says.

When I ask him about his social media routine, Ashok Swain says that when he gets up at 7 am, he checks what is going on via Twitter, and responds to any direct messages. A few tweets may follow. Then he works, and may tweet again in the evening.

What about ‘working hours’?

“I am not a disciplined person, by nature” Ashok Swain answers by way of response, adding that he does indeed sometimes tweet during the day if the need arises either from his phone, his laptop, or desktop computer. “But I have several demanding jobs. And I have a family, although the kids are grown up now. And I still need to cook!” he laughs.

Less restrictive

In Uppsala, in the meantime, the locals may have to wizen up to the fact that they have a global influencer in the field of water conflict and co-operation in their midst.  A recent article on a local news site highlighting his social media influence may help.

“I don’t do research that I don’t sincerely believe in, neither do I have a problem with stating my opinions. So this is the platform for me”

In a recent month he had 76 million impressions in a month on Twitter, meaning that Ashok Swain’s tweets have been ‘seen’ 76 million times on the platform. As if more than the whole population of the UK scrolled past.

His activity on LinkedIn is much more limited, and his following, though significant at 4,700+, much smaller. For Ashok Swain, it is Twitter that still represents a kind of freedom for him:

“Twitter is a place where you can express your opinion without being restricted. I don’t do research that I don’t sincerely believe in, neither do I have a problem with stating my opinions. So this is the platform for me.”

Scientists in Sweden — the top 100 on social media in 2022

/0 Comments/by

Who is storming ahead on social in the land of IKEA, Spotify and Carl von Linné?

A few years back, it was trendy to make fun of scientists for having large followings on social media.

The Kardashian Index ridiculed researchers by measuring the discrepancy between their social media following and their citations. It was hilarious at the time — and still is! — eight long, and social-media-savvy, years later.

These Swedish scientists would have aced it on social media if they had the chance. You do not recognize them? See who they are at the bottom of this article.

But most people understand that, everything else equal, having a large social media following as a scientist cannot be something bad.

A high number of followers simply shows that a large number of people are interested in what you have to say. As a scientist in an age of populism and science scepticism, this, surely, is a good thing.

This is why I started releasing my annual TwiLiIndex four years ago. It started in Denmark, and this year I have extended it to Norway and Sweden. The scientists who rank on the index for their high social media followings are all respected scientists in their own right. Nothing to be ashamed of. Nothing to hide.

So this is it! Toot toot! Here below are the top 100 scientists in Sweden in 2022.

I love this index, but it takes a lot out of me, so please take it in a positive spirit.

You can read about the methodology of it here.

It is called the TwiLi Index (=Twitter/LinkedIn index) – and you say it like you would say ‘twilight’ without the ‘t’. It ranks academic scholars affiliated to research institutions based on their Twitter and LinkedIn following. Twitter and LinkedIn are the platforms most used by researchers and scientists in a professional sense, as they allow networking and interaction within highly specialized fields.

Since 2019, the TwiLi Index has been reviewed in several publications. Some point to its usefulness as one of many measures of researcher success that supplement bibliometric scores, citations, and educational activities.

My TwiLi Index is based on a TwiLi score. Below you will see two separate measures of scientists’ impact, centrality and pagerank on Twitter (see explanation below). To do this I partnered up with data scientist Lasse Hjorth Madsen, who developed a bespoke web app for Mike Young Academy to organise publicly available data extracted using the Twitter API.

Centrality and pagerank are not integrated into the scientists’ TwiLi. So for the TwiLi index that is listed below, the top 100 scientists are ranked only on their TwiLi score. Each of the top 100 scientists then have their centrality and pagerank ranks — among nearly 4,000+ scientists on Twitter in the Nordic countries — listed after their name.

Centrality

Centrality evaluates scientists as hubs for flows of information on Twitter. A scientist has ‘centrality’ if they are the shortest path between other scientists in a network. Scientists score high on centrality if they are the shortest path many times. Centrality in this case has been calculated based on a network of more than 4,000+ scientists on Twitter in the Nordic region, so if you have a centrality rank of 23 in the table below, you are the 23rd highest centrality scoring scientist among the 4,000+ scientists. If you are a scientist with a network that is outside these countries, you may score and rank lower on centrality.

Pagerank

Pagerank evaluates scientists as attractors of influential followers. It is an indirect, proxy measure of scientists’ impact based on their followers’ follower numbers on Twitter. A scientist has a high Twitter-pagerank if the people who follow them have many followers. So getting followed by another scientist who has a high following on Twitter improves your own pagerank. However, getting followed by media and journalist Twitter accounts with many followers will also increase a scientists’ pagerank. So pagerank may favour ‘celebrity’ scientists known for other things like politics, or established scientists in fields that are in the public eye.

As can be seen when you browse down the names on the index (below) it is an ‘index for Sweden’ but not a ‘Swedish’ index. International scholars are well represented in the top 100. I interviewed Ashok Swain, one of the very top scientists on social media in Sweden, here.

If you are a part of the Swedish science and research community, my ranking (see below) can serve as inspiration for new contacts. After all, these scientists clearly know what they are doing, at least in terms of social media!

Are you not on the list? This ranking is partly based on manually extracted data (see methodology here) and I may have missed a few active scientists and researchers who have large followings. If you know someone who should be on this list, (maybe you!), please write below in the comments, or write to mike@mikeyoungacademy.dk. Updated, final, 2022 rankings will be released at the end of September 2022.
