Social media is an increasingly prominent feature of contemporary academic practice. Many academics are using social media platforms to extend their professional networks, refine their researcher identities, discover the latest developments in their field, enhance learning experiences within teaching, and to share their research with new audiences. This workshop explores how you, as postgraduate researchers, can make full use of new and emerging online spaces for your research and your employability. #SSAPChat
A workshop for the HDR retreat at Sebel Resort, Hawkesbury Valley for the School of Social Sciences and Psychology, University of Western Sydney.
Social media has changed communication and knowledge sharing. It empowers individuals to become digital creators, curators, critics, and collaborators. Social media allows sharing through established platforms like LinkedIn, blogs, tweets, and newer digital mechanisms. Knowledge is now generated through discussions among internet participants, not just scholarly study. Digital technologies provide access to knowledge anywhere, anytime, though there are concerns about information overload. The lecture discusses using social media like LinkedIn, blogs, and Twitter to develop personal learning networks and sharing opportunities to advance scholarly practice in open ways.

Academics' online presence: Assessing and shaping your online visibility_26oc...SarahG_SS
In our digital world, if you use the web, you have an online presence. And academics are no exception. Universities have webpages profiling their staff. Academic networks, like LinkedIn, Academia.edu and more, are used by researchers around the globe to keep in contact with colleagues and collaborators. And social media are everywhere you turn.
As an academic, you want your research outputs to be found and read. Making a difference and having an influence is almost a job requirement. Nowadays, the expectation is that you can be found online. So, what can you do to be aware of how you appear online? And, what can you do to increase your visibility? This presentation was part of a session for academics wanting to find out how they can review their existing digital footprints and shadows, make decisions about what kind of online presence they would like and plan how they can achieve it.
Several different possible ways of increasing their visibility as well as the visibility of their research and their outputs are discussed.
This document provides an overview of open access publishing models. It discusses traditional publishing where authors sign over copyright to publishers. It also describes issues with the serials and monographs markets, including rising costs and declining library budgets. The document defines gold and green open access models, with gold involving publisher open access journals and green involving institutional repositories. It notes opportunities for open access in the humanities, including the Modern Language Association's support for more open-friendly policies and formats like interactive journals. In closing, it provides suggested further readings on open access topics.

The document discusses social media and its prevalence and forms. It notes that 85% of adults use the internet regularly according to Pew surveys and that 91% use search engines and 88% use email regularly. It defines social media as online communications channels used for sharing content and collaboration. Examples provided include social networks, blogs, microblogs, video and image sharing sites, and more. Both advantages like developing social skills and risks like bullying are mentioned.
This document discusses sharing research in the digital age. It outlines several non-digital and digital routes for sharing research, including journals, conferences, social media, blogging, and data sharing platforms. Some benefits of digital sharing are validation by peers, forming collaborations, increasing impact, and demonstrating contributions. Specific digital examples provided include contacts made through blogging and Twitter that led to potential commercialization and collaboration opportunities. The document encourages researchers to curate an online profile and share actively to promote their work while addressing intellectual property concerns.
This document discusses the use of social media tools for researchers. It begins by defining social media as virtual communities and networks where people create, share, and exchange information. Short-form social media tools like Twitter and Facebook are described as well as long-form tools like blogs, videos, and podcasts. Specific uses of tools for research and outreach are provided, like using Twitter to disseminate conference information or build community through a portal site like microbe.net. Tips are offered on defining goals and audience as well as investing time to explore different tools. Both benefits and perils of using social media for scientists are outlined.
This document summarizes the progress of the Enhanced Publications (EP) Project. It discusses developments in creating enhanced digital publications, building a database of EP examples, disseminating information about EPs, and addressing challenges in preserving dynamic digital objects and convincing stakeholders of the value of EPs. The EP Project aims to innovate hybrid forms of scholarly publishing in the humanities and social sciences.
This document discusses personal learning networks (PLNs) and how educators can use social networking and web tools to build connections with other educators and engage in ongoing professional development. It provides examples of social media and collaboration tools that can be used to connect, share resources, and learn from other education professionals. The document emphasizes that PLNs are about contributing to the network in addition to simply following others, and that trust and reciprocity are important for knowledge exchange within a professional learning community.

Information Skills: 3. Social Media (Natural Sciences, Bangor University) Vashti Zarach
Social media can be useful for academics to follow relevant individuals and organizations, stay up to date on new research, and promote their own work. Twitter allows following others to see short updates and links to new articles. Academia.edu, ResearchGate, and Mendeley are sites where researchers can upload works, follow others in their field, and access research. It is beneficial to create profiles on sites like Google Scholar Citations and LinkedIn to track downloads, citations, and professional connections that can enhance research. While digital footprints require careful management, online networks can foster valuable international collaborations.
This is a basic overview of several social media platforms as well as specific guidance for creating or improving the visibility of your research profile. Created for the Institute of Biodiversity, Animal Health & Comparative Medicine at the University of Glasgow.
In this workshop (Institut de Ciència de Materials de Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC), 19 December 2018) I summarised the benefits which can be gained from use of social media (specially blogs, Twitter and other socialnetwork sites) to support research activities, and I provided examples of these innovative emerging resources as tools for scientific communicatio, as well as discussed their implications for digital scholarship.

Disseminating Scientific Research via Twitter: Research Evidence and Practica...Katja Reuter, PhD
About one-fifth of current scientific papers are being shared on Twitter. With nearly 69 million active U.S. Twitter users (24% of the U.S. adult population) and 328 million monthly active users worldwide, Twitter is one of the biggest social networks worldwide. Understandably, hopes are high that tweets mentioning scientific articles and research findings can reach peers and the general public. Studies show that most of the engagement with scientific papers on Twitter takes place among members of academia and thus reflects visibility within the scientific community rather than impact on society. However, there are ways to reach the broader public. This webinar will provide an overview of using Twitter to reach peers and non-specialist groups, the relationship between tweets and citations, and provide tips for building an academic Twitter presence.
Speaker: Katja Reuter, PhD, Assistant Professor of Clinical Preventive Medicine at the Institute for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Research in the Department of Preventive Medicine at the Keck School of Medicine of USC; Director of Digital Innovation and Communication for the Southern California Clinical and Translational Research Institute (SC CTSI).

Harnessing Technology for Social Work ScholarshipLaurel Hitchcock
This presentation was created by myself and Melanie Sage of the University at Buffalo for our visit with the College of Social Work at the Ohio State University in August 2017, where we talked about how social work faculty can harness technology for their social work scholarship.
Several statistics show that the general public holds a wide interest on scientific issues. However, the public rarely finds their way to academic arenas. It has been estimated that every year over two million scientific articles and reports are published, but roughly half of them are read only by the author and the editors.
Public discussions are increasingly taking place in social media. Different online media are reported as central information sources when searching for scientific information. What can we do as researchers to help people to find the information they look for? How to make a researcher's voice heard online?
Communicating about one's research in social media means creating societal impact and defending a scientific worldview. In this workshop we will focus on practical tips and good examples on how to engage in different social media services as a researcher.

Altmetrics is an emerging field that measures the impact of academic research across various online platforms like Google Scholar, ORCID, and Academia.edu. There are four key steps academics should take when engaging with altmetrics and social media: 1) craft an online persona, 2) share your narrative and link to current events, 3) be aware research impact often has a three year lag time, and 4) maintain a neutral online presence. Social media can be used as a research tool to share ideas and publications, act as a business card to build a professional network, and view tweets as headlines to engage broader audiences.

This is focussing broadly at use of social media by researchers, but we want you to think a bit more widely at a broader range of digital tools available which don’t necessarily fit under the common idea of what social media covers.
Who uses Twitter?Who blogs?Who uses facebook?- who uses facebook outside of a social purpose?Who has used tools such as slideshare to put presentations online?Who has used tools such as dropbox to save documents online, and share them with colleagues?
Also check out our bibliography at the end of this session, and maybe set yourself up with a web of knowledge or google scholar search alert.Don’t know how? Check out one of our training sessions on “keeping up to date with research” or “using google scholar effectively”
So how does social media offer potential benefits to researchers? If we consider the Research cycle… the identification, creation, evaluation and dissemination of knowledge… collaboration at all stages is integral.
Investment of time initially can save time in the longer term.
Key is to build effective networks with whom you can share and inform on new discoveries, research and data.
Lot of discussion around peer review and academic rigour around publishing of research and thinking outside of the normal model of academic publishing – not going to go in here. But think about the use of social media in terms of… - crowdsourcing: filtering resources by drawing on information and opinions from a range of people. - collaboration and constructive criticism at the early stages of your research

Mention the #phdhashtag… regular weekly or fortnightly scheduled discussions on twitter, for anyone working on their PhD to join in.

Melissa Terras, a researcher at UCL is currently exploring the impact of using social media to boost access to and downloads of her research held in her institutional repository.After depositing her research in an open access repository, she has then linked to the open access version of her research via both her blog, and then twitter. She has then monitored accesses following any tweets, and has recorded a spike in access of her research following a tweet.N.B. She has over 3000 twitter followers, so has already put in the effort to build a network etc.Result 1: Most papers downloaded c. 100 times within 24 hours of an initial tweet.She is also comparing downloads to her articles in open access repositories to those on publisher websites (behind paywalls.)Result 2: One article, published in 2011, has seen a dramatic 3x number of downloads from her repository in contrast to the journal publishers site.This is in part because it is open access, so more easily accessible… but also because it is open access, this enables researchers to use social media to share this more easily.Important note: This does not show citations, or even that the downloaded articles have been read… Web of Science currently only registers 1 citation (although has been less than 12 months) – but Google lists 5, 3 of these bing academic blogs which at least indicates is being picked up and discussed.
Mention about importance of building effective networks to maximise potential of collaboration, quality assurance and dissemination.Probably too long to use in session, but promote to check out in their own time…Mention the link to the blog… which will have these slides embedded in them, from where they sit on slideshare… and within these slides there is an embedded youtube presentation. Around all of these, you have the ability to comment on the slides, the blog, the youtube video… so even more info being generated…
There is so much out there… but don’t worry about picking the best one, its about using different tools at different times.Used Jing to record a video of my screen and edit it, then published on Youtube (but made private), then embedded that in a blog.Used flickr and instagram to create images for a powerpoint, uploaded this to slideshare, then embedded slideshare in web page / bookmarked using delicious and tweeted around link.But, there are always pressures on your time… what to focus on, what to look at. The aim of this session is to provide that ‘away time’ for you to get started, start to make connections… and hopefully take things from there.
Story behind this:Digital solutions company, had a brainstorm… took a photo, posted online and went home. All a bit of fun.Since then, picked up nearly 100,000 likes on Facebook and over 10,000 Tweets on Twitter.Image useful overview of some free products available, and what they do…… but also a story attached to photo showing power of social media to reach and engage with people.
Examples of some of the tools you can use to start building an online profile and if you want, link different areas together…For example, my twitter feed is linked to my LinkedIn profile, I tweet about new blog posts, but generally keep Facebook unlinked to anything else and keep that for friends.
Quick activity to get you talking in person – Twitter is a tool to aid collaboration and communication, but doesn’t replace a good face-to-face discussion when the opportunity arises!Add some to post-it-notes…

In summary, mention context in which the use of social media by researchers sits.Talk about collaboration, re-use and discussion. Mention in the context of move to open access publishing being mandated by funders and institutions (mention Wellcome, RCUK and also Harvard and Durham).Mention researchers self-imposed addiction to Journal impact factors and other metrics being used to identify prestigious and appropriate places to publish… but a growing discussion around altmetrics which also take into account measures of usage (repository downloads, storage in reference management software such as endnote web, refworks, menderlay, zotero), informal discussion, repurposing and referencing in non-published, non-peer reviewed material (newspapers, professional journals and trade press, official publications).Example here the PLoS Impact Explorer, and point out the examples feeding in to the score for that particular article.
