Abstract: Abstract International Communication Association (ICA) Fellows have an excellent reputation in the field of communication research. A previously unknown online community of scholars and their readers—who combine to form networks—can be uncovered by analyzing the works of prominent communication researchers across different formats and monitoring their online activities. The Altmetric.com and Dimensions.ai databases have recently received recognition in the fields of academic evaluation and scientific communication due to their extensive and innovative offline and online coverage. This study employs Altmetric.com and Dimensions.ai to classify four platforms on a quadruple helix—knowledge, social media, policy, and news channels—into actionable groups based on the “helix-based space and circulation” concept. This study’s assessment of online participation in the dissemination and the integration of ICA Fellows’ research also benefits from the use of sentiment analysis and semantic networks.
