Who’s passionate about Open Access?
Comprendia Bioscience
Consulting Group has developed an interesting way to demonstrate who is
passionate about Open Access using Google maps. They have collected 11 months
of geographical information on Twitterers utilising #openaccess hashtag,
totalling 43,000 tweets by 12,000 twitterers.
The global map shows the location of the top 1,000 twitterers using
#openaccess hashtag. An
earlier map by Comprendia using #scicomm hashtag was extremely popular
and raised a few questions in the science communication community. Why were
they not on the map? In reply, Comprendia
suggests you should "find/create/use more hashtags in your posts if you
are passionate about a topic and make sure your Twitter profile lists your
location." Then you may be on the next map they decide to publish.
