Are You A Scientific Twitter User or Polluter?

Self-Scoring Test:

In the last week, how often have you retweeted without “read[ing] the actual paper” pointed to by a tweet?

How many times did you retweet in total?

Formula: retweets w/o reading / retweets in total = % of retweets w/o reading.

No scale with superlatives because I don’t have numbers to establish a baseline for the “average” Twitter user.

I do know that I see click-bait, out-dated and factually wrong material retweeted by people who know better. That’s Twitter pollution.

Ask yourself: Am I a scientific Twitter user or a polluter?

Your call.
