Social Media For Researchers -- A personal accountcdessimoz
In this talk, I provide very pragmatic reasons for scientists—particularly early-career ones—to consider joining the social media bandwagon. I also provide a few examples of effective uses of social media.
A dive into what is a digital identity within the context of networks and how to tell your story in both a personal and professional manner. In doing so creating a digital identity they you can be proud of and serve as an example for others.
Presented as part of the University of Edinburgh PGCAP course 'Building a Research Profile'.
Focusing on how academic researchers can use social media to build a public profile of their research, network with peers, find research collaborators and participants, and engage with a global audience.
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.

The open academic: Why and how business academics should use social media to ...Ian McCarthy
Abstract: The mission of many business schools and their researchers is to produce research that that impacts how business leaders, entrepreneurs, managers, and innovators, think and act. However, this mission remains an elusive ideal for many business school academics because they struggle to design and produce research capable of overcoming the "research-practice gap." To help those scholars address this gap, we explain why and how they should use social media to be more 'open' to connecting with, learning from, and working with academics and other stakeholders outside of their field. We describe how social media can be used as a boundary-spanning technology to help bridge the research-practice gap. To do this, we present a process model of five research activities: networking, framing, investigating, dissemination, and assessment. Using recently published research as an illustrative example, we describe how social media was used to make each activity more open. We conclude with a framework of different social media-enabled open academic approaches (connector, observer, promoter, and influencer) and some dos and don'ts for engaging in each approach. This paper aims to help business academics rethink and change their practices so that our profession is more widely regarded for how its research positively impacts practice and societal well-being more generally.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view?

Using Social Media to Communicate Your Research
1. Using Social Media to
Communicate Your Research
Nicola Osborne, Social Media Officer
http://edina.ac.uk/
ESRC Doctoral Training Centre Students Summer School, 21st
June 2013
3. What is Social Media?
• Social Media are any websites that allow you to contribute, to
engage, to connect with others and are “Web 2.0” tools
(O’Reilly 2005).
• Examples include:
– Blogs (WordPress, Blogger, Tumblr, etc.)
– Twitter
– YouTube and Vimeo
– Facebook
– Google+
– Flickr, Instagram, Pinterest, etc.
– LinkedIn, Academia.edu, etc.
– Mendeley, Delicious, Diigo, etc.
– FigShare
4. Why Use Social Media?
Social media tools…
• Are go-to spaces for expertise and advice.
• Offer new ways to tell stories, to engage in dialogue, to reach
out to your audience(s).
• Rank highly on Google, Bing, etc.
• Can enable direct access to key figures from Principal
Investigators to funders and Research Councils, to press, and
potential research participants.
• May generate media interest in your work, new collaborations
and other unexpected opportunities.
• Offer inexpensive ways to raise your own profile and that of
your research.
5. This Time It’s Personal…
• Social media are about people,
personality and quirkiness.
• They allow use of links, images,
video, audio, and other
multimedia to bring a topic to life.
• They are designed to nurture
communities, networks, peer
support, sharing, participation
and collaboration.
• They are often updated and
engaged with via mobile phones
– crossing personal and
professional spaces, places and
times.
http://lookslikescience.tumblr.com/
6. What tools should you use?
• Blogs - make your work visible, enable semi-formal ways to
share working methods and progress, and provide a way to
find and engage in dialogue with your audience.
• Twitter - very effective way to share key research updates,
build a network around your work, find peer support and
advice, track news.
• Video or Audio - can bring clarity to complex concepts
quickly. Well-made short videos or animations can convey
complex concepts and research quickly, accessibly and in very
engaging sharable ways.
• Flickr, Pinterest, etc. – any images bring a project to life –
research is about people, ideas, events, collaboration,
equipment... Images make your ideas, achievements and
discoveries far more tangible.
7. What should you share?
• What your research is about and what it aims to achieve.
• Processes, updates, changes of approach – to the extent that
such transparency is appropriate and acceptable.
• Quirky, playful and accessible content around your work and
research area.
• Publications, presentations, press mentions and materials that
reflect research outputs and expertise.
• CHECK ANY EXISTING PRIVACY, NON-DISCLOSURE OR
SOCIAL MEDIA POLICIES AND ENSURE YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA
PRESENCE OR ACTIVITY COMPLIES.
19. Planning Social Media Use
• Consider what goals you want to achieve, what you want to
share about your research. How can you track progress?
• Think about your audience(s): where do they hang out online?
What will engage them in your work? How can you make it
relevant to them?
• Be creative – what social media tools could help you to
communicate in new ways?
• Be pragmatic - what best fits your project’s or personal style,
expertise, and time availability?
20. Planning Social Media Content
• Brand your presences and ensure you complete your profile
information. Always link back to your definitive research
profiles and project websites.
• Regularly share interesting engaging content, use
images, listen to and engage with the audiences you are
reaching out to.
• Ensure you keep profiles and presences up to date and
relevant, review their effectiveness, and ensure they represent
your work as you want it to be seen.
• Always link your social media presences to related
resources, particularly your authoritative web presences –
institutional web presences, repository pages, author profiles,
etc.
21. What should not be shared
• Commercially sensitive data or other material your
employer/PI would not want shared or that might breach
guidelines.
• Personal information about colleagues, participants, those at
partner organisation that might breach Data Protection law or
ethical guidance.
• Similarly do not share location information that might
compromise your own safety or that of your colleagues.
• Material (images, discussion board posts, tweets, etc.) that
might impact on your own professional reputation or the
credibility of your research.
• Anything you would not want a funder, professional peer, project
partner, or future employer to see or read.

Editor's Notes
Social media are go-to places for expertise and advice – that can benefit you both for your own information finding and for proving yourself as an expert in your community. Setting up your own presence allows others to differentiate between you and others with same/similar names or roles and establish yourself in the way you want to. Social media sites rank highly on Google Key figures – CEOs, Senior Managers, Research Councils, Leading Academics and Researchers, etc. are much more accessible via social media allowing you to build a great network. Social Media can lead to collaboration, employment, speaking, and other opportunities. Social media gives you a way to raise your profile for engaging, outreach etc.
