This PhD course at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences in Copenhagen is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except CBS) and for PhD students at graduate schools in the other Nordic countries. You can read more about the course and sign up here.

Scientists within the health and medical sector will find LinkedIn (and other social media platforms like Bluesky) particularly useful:

  • The platforms allow real time access to, for example, patients’ and public perspectives, communities of support, and to advocacy groups internationally — but within a narrow medical specialization.
  • The increased use of visual abstracts and digital formats in communicating research has been helped by the LinkedIn and Bluesky/X scientific community.

There are more details below this short introductory video:

The course is at the University of Copenhagen’s Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences and is open to all PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School) and for PhD students at most graduate schools in other Nordic countries.

A typical ‘visual abstract’. A shareable digital format that has taken off in recent years, particularly in the health and medical sciences.

The course goals

You will:

  • Learn how to use LinkedIn and other social media platforms to support your work and career as a researcher
  • Find a social media routine that fits your personality, daily routine and specific medical specialty
  • See how to be strategic in your use of social media
  • Set up personal routines, augmented by automation, for monitoring news and ideas from specific research areas.

Boost your research career and networking with social media (new course!)

Are you a University of Copenhagen scientist or science communicator? The course ’Boost your research and career with social media’ will be 1 November 2024. Please spread the word!

The course is for scientists, researchers and staff who want to extend their reach and international impact on social media platforms. Main focus will be on LinkedIn, but the course will also cover X (former Twitter) and newer alternatives like Bluesky and Mastodon. This particular course is open to all University of Copenhagen researchers and staff, but I also offer courses like this at other universities and research institutions! You sign up for the University of Copenhagen course on this page here.

Here is a short introductory video:

Boost your research career and network with social media

Platforms like LinkedIn, X (formerly Twitter), and alternatives like Mastodon and Bluesky, allow you to find and reach out to other experts and collaboration partners throughout the world. And they give you a potential global audience for your own specific research field and project.

In this course, you will:

  • learn how to monitor specific fields on social media
  • share via new networks that include LinkedIn, X, and some of the alternative social media platforms (for example Reddit, Mastodon) that are used by scientists
  • integrate social media into conferences, seminars, research and communication.

Goals

You will:

  • Learn how to use LinkedIn, X, and alternatives to these platforms to support your work and career as a researcher
  • Find a social media routine that fits your personality and research field

Content

You will see what the platforms like LinkedIn, X and the alternatives, can do on their own, and how you as a researcher and communicator can get the platforms to work together. In the course we will go through the following. How to:

  • be strategic in your use of social media
  • set up personal routines, augmented by AI, for monitoring news and ideas from specific research areas.
  • integrate social media in events and conferences
  • get other people involved in your research
  • use social media to expand your network
  • crowdsource content for specific research projects
  • create a personal social media brand, centred on your own expertise
  • extend your reach and better define your own research field at an international level

Course format

The course consists of 1-2 hours preparation, an in-person workshop, and a subsequent 20 minute feedback session.

You take as your point of departure your own specific research, or research networking, goal. And you will learn how to apply social media platforms to achieve it. Can your own research area, or specialty, be used for a good social media routine or concept on X, LinkedIn, Reddit or, say, Mastodon? We aim to find out how.

You will get feedback from the instructor (Mike) and your fellow participants on your social media work and you will refine your concept for even greater impact. You will be introduced to monitoring and analysis tools, and learn how to target posts and tweets for even greater impact.

Target group / eligible participants

For researchers, scientists, and staff working with research communication at the University of Copenhagen.

Prior experience and expectations

The course is relevant for both beginners and experienced users.

Beginners need to set off time (2 hours) to prepare on their own before the first workshop. Participants need to at least have a 1. LinkedIn and 2. X (or Mastodon/Bluesky) account, and to have familiarized yourself with the basic functions of their platforms of choice. Participants will receive a link to introductory videos.

Write to Mike Young on mike@mikeyoungacademy.dk for any questions on the prior experience level needed.

Note: The course will be held in English.

Dates

1 November 2024 from 9.00 to 16.30 – the course includes preparation prior to the course. ​

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

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.

* = Data from September 2022

Does your department, faculty or university need to boost the international impact and career of your researchers? Here is more about my courses in social media for researchers. See other Mike Young Academy services here.

Who are the scientists on the picture at the top of the page? From the left: Johan Ludvig Heiberg, philologist, Ole Rømer, astronomer and Sophie Brahe, horticulturalist.

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

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.

* = Data from September 2022


Does your department, faculty or university need to boost the international impact and career of your researchers? Here is more about my courses in social media for researchers. See other Mike Young Academy services here.

Who are the scientists on the picture at the top of the page? From the top, Anders Celsius, physicist, Eva Ekeblad, agronomist and Carl von Linné, botanist.

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

Who are the scientists with the biggest social media impact in Norway?

Scientists and researchers are constantly being assessed and evaluated for their ‘impact’. The h-index , for example, measures the productivity and citation impact of a scholar.

The h-index, however, does not measure other forms of academic impact like teaching and outreach activities, and it tends to favour scholars in the natural sciences. Researchers also have a wider impact on society than what can be measured through article citations like in the h-index: They teach younger researchers, engage in public debate and influence policymakers and other experts in their field.

These historical Norwegian scientists would have had a large social media impact if they had only had the chance! Their names are at the bottom of the index below.

A further measure of impact is how good scientists are at networking with their peers in other universities and with the general public: Here a social media ‘impact’ of a researcher may be more interesting.

My own TwiLi Index offers a measure of this type of wider impact, and I now release a set of data for scientists and research in Norway. I have already released an index for Denmark/the Copenhagen region every summer since 2019, and you can read about the methodology of it here. Upcoming releases include Sweden and Denmark (2022 version soon) with Finland planned to go live in 2023.

The TwiLi Index – or the ‘Twitter-LinkedIn’ index, and pronounced like the English word ‘twilight’ without the ‘t’ at the end  – ranks academic scholars affiliated to research institutions based on their Twitter and LinkedIn following. Twitter and LinkedIn are the platforms of choice for most researchers and scientists globally, 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.

An alternative measure of scientific impact for scholars in the Land of the Midnight Sun

In addition to the index, which is calculated purely based on Twitter and Linkedin follower numbers, I release two separate measures of scientist impact, centrality and pagerank on Twitter (see explanation below). This has been developed in partnership with data scientist Lasse Hjorth Madsen, who developed a bespoke web app for Mike Young Academy that organizes publicly available data extracted using the Twitter API.

Centrality and pagerank are not integrated into the scientists’ TwiLi score. So the top 100 scientists are ranked only on their TwiLi score for the TwiLi index that is listed below. Each of the top 100 scientists then have their centrality and pagerank rankings — among more than 4,000 scientists on Twitter in Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway — 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 countries, 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. Centrality is one measure of impact, but it does tend to overestimate local, rather than international scientists. If you are an international scientist that has just arrived in one of the Nordic countries with a network that is mostly abroad, you may rank lower on centrality on this measure.

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, 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 Norway’ but not a ‘Norwegian’ index. International scholars are, as in all my country indexes, well represented in the top 100. I interviewed Glen Peters, a top scholar on the list, about his Twitter routine here.

If you are a part of the Nordic science and research community, the ranking (see below) can serve as inspiration for new contacts. After all, these scientists clearly know what they are doing in terms of social media, so why not follow them? (You will thereby indirectly increase their TwiLi score for next year’s ranking, but hey! why not!)

Enjoy!

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.

* = Data from September 2022

Does your department, faculty or university need to boost the international impact and career of your researchers? Here is more about my courses in social media for researchers. See other Mike Young Academy services here.

Who are the scientists on the picture at the top of the page? Thor Heyerdahl, ethnographer, Ellen Gleditsch, chemist and Jens Rathke, zoologist.

Scientists in Denmark — the top 100 on social media in 2021

Who are the wizards of the Danish scientist web?

For good or for worse, scientists and researchers are assessed and evaluated by their ‘impact’. The h-index , for example, measures the productivity and citation impact of a scholar: but this does not take things like teaching activity and outreach activities into account.

These Danish scientists had, guaranteed, absolutely no social media following whatsoever.

And what about scholars’ wider impact? How good are they at networking with their peers and with the general public? Here a social media ‘impact’ of a researcher may be more interesting.

My own TwiLi Index offers a measure of it and you can read about the methodology of it here.

The TwiLi Index – the ‘Twitter-LinkedIn’ index, and pronounced like ‘twilight’ without the ‘t’ at the end, get it? – ranks academic scholars affiliated to research institutions based on their Twitter and LinkedIn following. Twitter and LinkedIn are the platforms of choice for most researchers and scientists globally, as they allow networking and interaction within highly specialized fields.

It is the third year running that I use the formula to calculate scientists’ TwiLi score based on their Twitter and LinkedIn follower numbers. The 2020 rank for Denmark is here. In 2019 and 2020 I did a separate index the Greater Copenhagen/Øresund area using the same methodology.

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.

TwiLi-Index top scientists 2021This time, I add two extra and 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. Lasse Hjorth Madsen really appreciates you following him on LinkedIn here.

Centrality and pagerank are not integrated into the scientists’ TwiLi score. So the top 100 scientists are ranked only on their TwiLi score for the TwiLi index that is listed below. Each of the top 100 scientists then have their centrality and pagerank ranks — among nearly 3,000 scientists on Twitter in Denmark — 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 3,000 scientists on Twitter in Denmark, so if you have a centrality rank of 23 in the table below, you are the 23rd highest centrality scoring scientist among the 3,000+ scientists. If you are a scientist with a network that is mostly abroad, you may score and rank lower on centrality in Denmark.

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  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 Denmark’ but not necessarily 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. 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, 2021 rankings will be released at the end of September 2021.

The 2021 TwiLi Index for Denmark

Here are the top 100 scientists in Denmark on social media as ranked on my TwiLi index! The data was collected in August 2021.

Oh yes! You would like to take a deep dive into the methodology of the TwiLi Index here!

Format: TwiLi index rank / Up or down since 2020 / Name / Affiliation / Bio on Twitter / Twitter followers / LinkedIn followers / TwiLi index score / 2020 rank / Centrality rank among 3,000+ Danish scientists / Pagerank rank among 3,000+ Danish scientists / Link to Twitter account.

Health tech professor: LinkedIn is my connection to business and to other fields of research

The social media routine of Alireza Dolatshahi-Pirouz helps place him at the centre of business projects, consortia and multiple research fields.

First time I came into contact with Associate Professor Alireza Dolatshahi-Pirouz was when I stumbled upon a concept Twitter account called BioTiger that ‘revealed the mysteries of biotechnology in an easy and enjoyable way’.

BioTiger

The mascot BioTiger of Alireza Dolatshahi’s group at DTU Health Tech masked up for when the group sterilized their working environment in connection with the Covid19 pandemic.

When I expressed my admiration for it on Twitter, I was promptly rewarded with a cute furry tiger sent to my address. I handed the tiger to my son, and then I pretty much forgot about it.

Second time was when I worked on my pet project, the annual ranking of scientists on social media, the TwiLi-index for 2020. It listed Alireza Dolatshahi-Pirouz as number one in terms of Twitter and LinkedIn following among all the scientists and researchers in the Greater Copenhagen area.

Alireza Dolatshahi-Pirouz

Alireza Dolatshahi-Pirouz

It was only then that I realized that he and his colleagues were behind the BioTiger account — and apparently much, much more.

He himself has, for example, 29,936 followers on LinkedIn and 6,043 followers on Twitter at last count and regularly posts about his own – and his colleagues’ – science and daily life at the DTU Health Tech department just north of Copenhagen.

So it was time to give Alireza a call and find out what exactly it is that he does right.

“As a result of my LinkedIn activity, people contact me from consortia and businesses. And other researchers reach out for collaboration, so this platform especially has turned into something really valuable for me,” Alireza Dolatshahi-Pirouz tells me.

LinkedIn started off in 2003 as a kind of directory of contacts, a repository of constantly updated CVs. It is only in recent years that it has transformed itself into something else, a social media platform of the more serious kind for professionals. And for academics.

Although his own account dates back to 2008, Alireza Dolatshahi-Pirouz considers himself to be one of the many who have upped their activity on the platform of late. And it is his own posts and shares, and his comments on other people’s posts related to his own field, that has driven a dramatic increase in his follower numbers, he reckons.

“Compared to many other researchers in Denmark, I have been active on the platform for a longer period of time. But I also keep myself visible and seen on other people’s newsfeeds via my activity, and indirectly through the activity of my close colleagues which I share. And I have become more active since I became associate professor,” he says before adding, “apart from that I think people are actually interested in the work I am doing!”

The large follower numbers for Alireza Dolatshahi-Pirouz could be explained by network effects. As he, his colleagues, and his peers in the same field at other universities, all react to the bigger reach of their LinkedIn activity and become ever more active, the total size of their joint network increases on the platform, further increasing their activity, creating a run-away effect.

From Alireza Dolatshahi-Pirouz’ perspective it looks like this:

“My own principal investigator (PI) from my time at Harvard Medical School probably has more followers than I have. If I interact with him, my name is shown to his followers,” says Alireza Dolatshahi.

Working in multiple overlapping fields with practical, cutting-edge implications for health and business may help too. Alireza Dolatshahi-Pirouz’ work has a bearing on both health, green ecofriendly technologies, and machine learning.

So what is his routine? How does Alireza Dolatshahi-Pirouz fit social media activity into his daily research life?

Mentally at least, Alireza Dolatshahi-Pirouz upholds a posting schedule, and combines posts about his own work, the work of his colleagues, and the work of his peers. One of his recent posts got 23,000 ‘views,’ meaning that it was presented 23,000 times in people’s LinkedIn home feeds. This corresponds to a small town viewing a post about his research.

Alireza Dolatshahi-Pirouz’ work has a bearing on both health, green ecofriendly technologies, and machine learning.

“Right now I am posting some things about my research group. Then we have something called Fun Friday. My colleagues have also started to post about PhD defences. When a lot of things are happening, then I set out a list, thinking, I will post this on Wednesday and then this on Friday. I try not to post too much at the same time to make sure that all of my posts get seen as much as possible,” he says.

LinkedIn has only in recent years started using hashtags, which the platform copied from Twitter. Alireza Dolatshahi-Pirouz is a fan of the hashtag #PhDlife.

“I like the personal #PhDlife posts. And I like to try and reach out to scientists and to people outside of science,” he says.

Scientists and researchers tend to either use Twitter or LinkedIn, and each have their proponents. A smaller subset of scientists have come to the realization that the one platform supplements the other. Alireza Dolatshahi is one of them, he says. He prefers LinkedIn, but wants to use Twitter more.

Do you have any words of advice to scientists considering being more active on LinkedIn?

“Just start posting, be yourself and be personal. Then people will follow you.”

Scientists in Denmark – the top 100 on social media in 2020

Who is acing it on the networking sites in the land of Bohr, Holberg and Lehmann?

Research impact is a notoriously difficult thing to measure. The h-index  measures the productivity and citation impact of a scholar: but this index does not take things like education, funding and outreach activities into account.

A Danish physicist, a playwright and historian, and a geologist. OK, so Ludvig Holberg was also Norwegian. (Underlying image: Carsten Wiehe, CC license)

And what about the social media impact of a researcher? My own TwiLi Index offers a measure of it.

After releasing the index for the Greater Copenhagen/Øresund region last week, I now release the index for Denmark.

My TwiLi Index – pronounced like ‘twilight’ without the ‘t’ at the end – ranks academic scholars affiliated to research institutions using a simple, reproducible formula based on their follower numbers on Twitter and LinkedIn. Twitter and LinkedIn are the platforms of choice for researchers and scientists, as they allow networking and interaction with niche audiences throughout the world in highly specialized fields.

You can read about the methodology of the index here.

The index for Denmark and the index for the Greater Copenhagen area partially overlap.

Note that the Greater Copenhagen/Øresund regional index is not a subset of the index for Denmark, as it also includes researchers from the Swedish side of the region. This can be illustrated by the map on the left.

Since I launched the first index, for the Greater Copenhagen / Øresund area in 2019, it 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.

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 extremely well represented on the top 100.

The Denmark index uses exactly the same methodology as the Greater Copenhagen/Øresund index for 2019 and 2020. In future indices, I plan to include measures of engagement in the algorithm.

Many scientists use social media to communicate their own research and network with other scientists. The platforms extend their reach, let them discuss research with international peers, and serve as a catalyst for inspiration in the research process. Scientists and researchers are often supported in this by university institutions as they each strive to improve their own brand among stakeholders, other scientists and institutions, and the wider public.

If you are a part of the Danish 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 is the first time I try to map out the social media field of scientists and researchers in Denmark. It 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, 2020 rankings will be released at the end of September 2020.

Copenhagen scientists – the top 100 on social media in 2020

Who are the most popular scientists on Twitter and LinkedIn in the Copenhagen region?

My own TwiLi Index ranks scientists based on their follower numbers. I now release the 2020 edition, based on active scientists and researchers in the Greater Copenhagen/Øresund region. A separate index for Denmark is here. Since I launched the index in 2019, it has been reviewed in several publications like here in CBS Wire. Some in the research community point to its usefulness as one of many measures of researcher success that supplement bibliometric scores, citations, and educational activities.

This index covers the wider research hub of Copenhagen (including Roskilde, Lyngby) and the Swedish side of the Øresund (Lund, Malmö)

My plan was originally to tweak the algorithm this year to include measures of ‘engagement’ or activity on the two platforms. But these adjustments are not ready yet, so I am releasing two 2020 rankings (Greater Copenhagen and Denmark) with the exact same methodology as the 2019 index. As a positive side effect, this enables comparison with the 2019 tables, so scientists can see whether they are trending up, or down! There are now 100 scientists on the ranking. Here is the original post explaining the methodology. Many scientists use social media to communicate their own research and network with other scientists. The platforms extend their reach, let them discuss research with international peers, and serve as a catalyst for inspiration in the research process. Scientists and researchers are often supported in this by university institutions as they each strive to improve their own brand among stakeholders, other scientists and institutions, and the wider public. Social media like Twitter and LinkedIn are the platforms of choice for researchers and scientists, as they, unlike other platforms, let them focus their professional, academic interactions with niche audiences in highly specialized fields throughout the world. The TwiLi Index ranking is calculated using an algorithm based on the raw numbers of Twitter followers and LinkedIn followers (note, not connections, but followers!).

To those who already have followers, more shall be given…

If you are a part of the Copenhagen science and research community, the ranking offers the added bonus that it shows you who to follow, just because, apparently, everyone else is! And so the index can’t help but reinforce the Matthew effect that we already know from the Good Book: To those who already have followers, more shall be given… I have written about the methodology of my ranking here. The TwiLi Index is pronounced like ‘twilight’ without a ‘t’.

Are you not on the list? This is the second time I try to map out the social media field of scientists and researchers in Copenhagen. It 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, 2020 rankings will be released at the end of September 2020.

Here are the top 100 Copenhagen scientists on social media as ranked on my TwiLi index! The data was collected August 2020. Yes you DO want to read about the methodology of the TwiLi Index here!

How a PhD student is using LinkedIn to find her next job

Just posting to your connections is not enough. Vet scientist shows how using LinkedIn ‘Groups’ gets you job offers and research opportunities

Groups on LinkedIn are set up and maintained by users around interest areas, employment types and professional and career issues, and they support discussions within specialized areas.

Charlotte is a veterinarian with a specialization in biomedicine, who has worked with small animals at an animal clinic and as a research scientist at the pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk in Denmark.

As a LinkedIn user, when you do a regular post on LinkedIn, your post is shown to the people who follow you or are connected to you. The post can then reach a wider network if your followers or connections ‘like’ it or share your post on their own feed.

When you post in a LinkedIn Group, by contrast, you only interact with people who share your common interest. This makes it easier for users, and employers, to find someone who has the right profile without them having to know each other already. While many LinkedIn Groups end up been negatively affected by spam and promotions, smaller groups can remain highly effective if they are well moderated.

Charlotte Holme-Nielsen – a veterinarian who is doing her PhD in the field of neuroscience – calls herself an amateur on LinkedIn. But when she spoke up at a social media workshop for scientists that I held at the Department for Veterinary and Animal Science in Copenhagen recently, I realized that her use of LinkedIn’s Groups puts her right up there among the LinkedIn pros!

“Yesterday I got a private message from someone else from the US who saw one of my comments in another group. ‘We have this conference. Would you like to participate?’”

So I talked to her after the workshop to go into more detail about how she uses the platform to network with other experts (and future employers) in a narrow research field.

“On LinkedIn I am a member of several groups,” Charlotte told me. “And I think this one was a ‘Veterinarians for Small Animals’ group. Someone posted a picture of a dog with hair loss, and asked the group if there was someone who could help with the diagnosis. So I wrote her a suggestion. She then uploaded more images in the comment thread, and it ended up being a long thread of comments.”

“A short time after this, I received a private message from a recruiter on LinkedIn, who had been hired by a company to find good veterinarians. She wrote to me that my specialization would be relevant to them,” Charlotte explained.

Charlotte Holme Nielsen is in the process of finishing her PhD at the University of Copenhagen within the fields of neuroscience and brain development.

And this was not all. The opportunities kept coming to Charlotte as a result of her LinkedIn Group activity:

“Yesterday I got a private message from someone else from the US who saw one of my comments in another group. ‘We have this conference. Would you like to participate?’ In this way, the LinkedIn Groups are a way for me to get into contact with potential employers and fellow vet scientists in the same area,” says Charlotte, who adds that she now has forged connections to several scientists in the UK that she otherwise would not have met.

There is nothing remarkable about Charlotte’s activity on LinkedIn, and you can see her LinkedIn profile here.  But she has, at the time of writing, only posted a ‘regular’ post (to all her connections) once. Let that sink in for a moment to all of us who post regularly to all our connections: She has only posted to all her connections, once.

Not quite qualified – and proud of it

Nearly all her activity is through the LinkedIn’s Groups function (See how to find it below)

Click on the search field, then select ‘groups’ on the right. Find a LinkedIn Group in your interest area, and ‘request to join’.

This might change, she admits. She is about to hand in her PhD thesis. And she does ‘like’ other people’s posts that show up in her regular newsfeed.

“If you like something, the person who posts at least gets to know you exist,” she says.

“… you should put yourself in their shoes. No-one is ever going to think: ‘She is so annoying. And how embarrassing it is for her that she is not qualified!”

More subtle is Charlotte’s strategy towards people who post about new jobs in her area. Both the ones that show up in her newsfeed and in the LinkedIn Groups that she is a part of.

“My former Novo manager posted a job ad on LinkedIn that was slightly outside my field. I wrote him a direct message and said, ‘Hey, I am not qualified for this job, but if you know of any others within my own field, then please let me know’.”

This takes a bit of courage, I imagine. You are reacting to job offers that you are not completely qualified for?

“Well. Maybe. But you should put yourself in their shoes. No-one is ever going to think: ‘She is so annoying. And how embarrassing it is for her that she is not qualified!’”, Charlotte laughs.

“The point is. If you are posting about a new vacancy on the platform, there is a high chance you are an employer that is generally hiring new people. So this is why I think the method works very well,” Charlotte says.

At the Mike Young Academy social media for scientists workshops one of the elements is how to use search strings on LinkedIn’s powerful search engine, and how to bookmark them in order to use them for daily routines.

Charlotte, tell me, are you going to bookmark a search string on all new jobs in your field from now on and use your strategy with all of the job offers that you are not-quite-qualified for from now on?

“I might just do that!”
