17. Social Media & Professor Allan Pacey
“See social media as part of one continuum, it is the spine
of what I do”
“Puts a human face to your professional profile, helps
public and patients see who I am, some patients follow my
updates”
Recent £750,000 MRC Grant aided by solid impact
statement backed by strong public profile - “Referee’s
comment was I cannot fault it”
“Helps me stay top of my game”
25. Social Media & Dr John Holmes
“Twitter has been useful for sustaining and building relationships with
academics outside Sheffield. It provides a starting point for conversation at
conferences, a sense of the interests of potential collaborators and a way
of identifying who the people you should be talking to are.
Although trolls are generally to be avoided, those hostile to public health
perspectives are not all trolls. Engagement with those people is useful as
it exposes you to different perspectives on your work, can help you
understand how it is regarded by those outside the scientific and public
health community, identify the key criticisms of your work (and the best
way to respond to them) and lead you toward new research questions and
ideas. In short, it helps you think about public health outside of a lefty,
state intervention, received wisdom on 'what works' paradigm.”
39. Social Media & Claire Beecroft
“A fantastic way to stay at the cutting edge of research and debate in my field- I find
research and content for my modules via Twitter and blogs all the time.”
“A great way to grow your academic network and to be better able to socialise and
network in-person at conference and events- I know people there already, even if
I've only 'met' them via the conference hashtag on the train on my way there”
“I would feel incredibly 'out of the loop' if I stopped using social media tools”
“Promoting our courses (taught,CPD and short)- is very cost-effective way of
promoting what we offer, and events like the online open days”
“A very fast way of getting answers and opinions from peers about topics in my
field”
41. Prescribing a Digital Technology
● You need to understand why you are taking it
● You need to understand the benefits
● You need to understand the side-effects
● You need to understand that the benefits may take time
● You may need two courses
● You may need a different intervention

Or at least point them to the right social network
47. Social Media & Professor Trish Greenhalgh
British professor of primary health care
“I’ve got my last two PhD students from Twitter”
“I’ve got my most recent research collaboration from Twitter”
“I was invited to edit a major new journal article series via a message on
Twitter”
“Our paper ‘EBM – a movement in crisis’ was the most highly cited paper in the
BMJ in 2014 directly because of a targeted twitter campaign to promote it.”
50. Problems with current model
Lags behind current publishing models
No direct ‘right to reply’
Can slow down the publication process - rivalry/stealing of ideas/bias
Contradictory reviews (good and bad)
Pressure from editors to cite papers from their journal
Reviewer may not have adequate knowledge of research they are reviewing
51. Barriers to openness
Fear of criticising peers (especially senior ones)
Reluctance by academics to put their name where their mouth is - could reduce
the pool of reviewers
Trolling behaviour
Confusion over platform choice
Better definition needed between commenting, reviewing and discussing
Could be a time sink responding to comments
Increased time taken to review papers
52. Benefits of open peer review
Builds potential collaborations
Helps identify problems with published research
Creates a better academic community
Helps identify similar research

55. How do you feel about current peer review?
Would you be happy to open peer review someone else’s work?
Would you be happy for someone to open peer review your work?
Would you be happy for peers to comment on your work post publication?
Would you be happy for researchers from other disciplines to comment on your
work post publication?
Would you consider responding to comments?

research is changing
Presentations and seminars
Funding and ethics applications
Academic books
Journal articles and posters
Term papers and essays
Meetings and conferences
Correspondence
Open access
Supplementary data
Online reference managers
Press
Post-publication peer-review
Social media
Blogs
61. Traditional metrics struggle to reflect this
- Slow to accrue
- Focus mostly on published articles
Published
June 2014:
62. Development of altmetrics (alternative indicators)
To complement, not replace traditional metrics
Help people understand how research is being received and used, and by
who
Not intended as an indicator of quality
Can help provide further evidence of engagement and ‘societal impact’
Give credit for research outputs other than articles
65. The Altmetric score and donut
● developed to give an at-a-glance summary of the attention work has received
● not an indicator of quality of the research!
● useful when looking at data for lots of articles at once
