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.
