I don’t agree. I think LinkedIn offers benefits. Both on its own, and in conjunction with Twitter. The search functionality is very powerful, and has many research networking applications. And the platform is ideal for forging relationships with people outside your own niche field, and outside academia. As for how my top 50 fares on H-index: I looked into it, but haven’t compared my top 50 systematically with another sample of researchers. I would leave the Kardashian formula for that! Also: The trouble with H-index for the sample is that it is so biased against the human and social sciences. So I deliberately delimited this ranking to social media following. best Mike

Why? Because sane folk like me gave up LinkedIn when it started spamming me. It provides ZERO benefits to me. I have an H-index of 107 on GS and 86 I think at WoK. How do your top 50 fare?

Wicked formula;) Can’t wait to see this index applied to a larger community. Other cities maybe?
