Crazy AF. Paper studies AK and Aran Komatsuzaki paper tweets and finds those papers get 2-3x higher citation counts than control. They are now influencers 😄 Whether you like it or not, the TikTokification of academia is here! arxiv.org/abs/2401.13782

Congratulations and thanks for the acknowledgment! But data availability and methods have improved: Please redo it with full texts from open sources and chatGPT for the country detection🤪 (I'm kidding)

This looks super cool! I did a similar map a few weeks ago: user.demogr.mpg.de/theile/demogra… Datamapplot in its current state might have been great for that. My map loads more data when you zoom in and it shows more labels, but it's not as polished.

Excited to share our new project, long in the making. We analyzed 94,000 news headlines of the last 5 years.🌎Which countries do you think US media is most focused on? Check it out! 1point21interactive.com/the-world-acco…
