- 7. What can you do? • Know what information (both footprint and shadow) is out there • Take control! – Control your footprint – Minimise your shadow Am I making an impact? Can I be found – Be aware of your privacy settings online?

- 9. The process
- 10. How? • Regular Google searches • On-going Google alerts of your name • Measure your digital footprint
- 11. Example
- 12. Analyse the results • How many of the results are relevant? • What types of results come up? – Are all of them from your institutions? – Publications? – Online profiles? – Facebook photos? • If the results are obviously nothing to do with you, would that be obvious to someone else looking for you? • Consider what you would like to appear
- 13. What can you do? • 3 main areas to focus on: – Your profile as an individual – Improving the availability of your outputs – Communicating and connecting
- 14. Your profile as an individual • Profiles – Academia.edu – Facebook(?) Personal Professional – Your institution – Google Scholar – etc. • Decide on a main profile - Update, improve and maintain it; link the others to it • Separate professional and personal online presence • Be consistent!
- 15. Improving the availability of your outputs • Put journal articles you can online – Check out Sherpa Romeo for publisher archiving policies (http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/) • Archive – in repositories Is my research making an impact? – In subject portals Can it be found online? • Publish in open access journals • Open everything – all scholarly output possible (teaching, popular, etc.)
- 16. Communicating & connecting • Social bookmarking – Share links relevant to your subject (blogs, papers, etc) • Microblogging – Twitter – Many academics & researchers tweet • Blogging as a scholarly activity – Create and write a blog for colleagues, community and/or students • Comment: Start and join in discussions on e.g. Mendeley, Academia.edu, etc.
