dcterms.abstract | The TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) conference and associated website of recorded conference presentations
(TED Talks) is a highly successful disseminator of science-related videos, claiming over a billion online views. Although
hundreds of scientists have presented at TED, little information is available regarding the presenters, their academic
credentials, and the impact of TED Talks on the general population. This article uses bibliometric and webometric
techniques to gather data on the characteristics of TED presenters and videos and analyze the relationship between these
characteristics and the subsequent impact of the videos. The results show that the presenters were predominately male and
non-academics. Male-authored videos were more popular and more liked when viewed on YouTube. Videos by academic
presenters were more commented on than videos by others and were more liked on YouTube, although there was little
difference in how frequently they were viewed. The majority of academic presenters were senior faculty, males, from United
States-based institutions, were visible online, and were cited more frequently than average for their field. However, giving
a TED presentation appeared to have no impact on the number of citations subsequently received by an academic,
suggesting that although TED popularizes research, it may not promote the work of scientists within the academic
community. | fr |
