Using social media to promote your researchHazel Hall
Slides from a workshop for academics, researchers, and PhD students (1) to address the need to enhance the visibility of their work, (2) to raise awareness of opportunities for developing professional networks offered by social media (e.g. to connect to peers and collaborators, and engage with the work of others as they engage with theirs); (3) to discuss strategies for the development of presences on, and use of, social media.
Using Google Scholar, PubMed LinkOut and Loansome Doc to get medical journal articles for clinicians in private practice, followed by pointers to free and open-access journals.
Developing communities has become increasingly easy on the web as the number of interactive facilities and amount of data available about communities increases. It is possible to view connections on social and professional networks in the form of mathematical graphs. It is also possible to visualise connections between authors of academic papers. For example, Google Scholar, Academia.edu, ResearchGate, and historically Microsoft Academic Search, now have large corpuses of freely available information on publications, together with author and citation details, that can be accessed and presented in a number of ways. Identification of academic authors online is increasingly important too, using facilities such as ORCID. Some practical guidance on what is worthwhile in presenting publication information online will be given.
Teaching digital citizenship through the inquiry process DLPmels
Research in the classroom is an ideal time to introduce digital citizenship. Teaching students about the ethical use of information is an integral part of both information literacy and digital citizenship.
