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

/1 Comment/by

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.

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.
