Exercise:
• In a few bullet points summarise what you do.
• What do you do which is similar to researchers in
other disciplines?
5
6. Introduction
What You (Collectively) Do
I think you (as a researcher):
• Talk to colleagues and exchange ideas
• Go to conferences, listen to speakers and discuss
their ideas with them and with your peers
• Have an idea for a paper, a project, … and discuss
it with potential co-authors & collaborators
• Write the paper, project proposals or submission
jointly with others
• Listen to and ask questions of the stakeholders
• Do the work with project partners & collaborators
• Ensure that the work is known about by
Your peers (they may cite you)
Others, including general public, in order to
enhance the impact of your work

13. New Scholarship
About the paper:
$25!
Google Scholar
Sharing services
“That one Tweet got me thinking about
the kinds of sessions I would like to see
and the things sociologists should be
studying”
“so I wrote a blog post about it. As I
usually do now, I shared that blog post
via Twitter.”
“I did a series of blog posts that
expanded on initial post.”
“I combined all of the blog posts into one
paper and thought about what my
critique of the field might be.”
“paper went into an extended peer
review process .. and appeared in 2012”
“Except for the very end of this
process – submitting the paper to the
journal for peer-review – none of this
way of working bares the least bit of
resemblance to how I was trained to
be a scholar.”
13
14. Introduction
What’s It Mean For You?
We‟ve seen:
• Blogs • Twitter • Hashtags • alt.metrics
• RSS • Social sharing
• Google Scholar
• Open Access
• Creative Commons
How could you use these yourself?
• Write a brief summary of how
you could use one of these examples
(or other social media services)
• Share your example with a neighbour
• Put your example on a notice board. We will all
discuss a few examples
14
15. Examples
What Can Twitter Offer?
Twitter:
• A waste of time for those with time to waste!
• A valuable communications & dissemination channel
Twitter can be regarded as:
• An interactive business card:
“Here’s my business card” vs “Here’s my Twitter ID”
• The bar where everybody knows your name:
“Feeling a bit down about my PhD #phdchat”
• An essential tool for conferences:
“On my way to #daad2013. Who else is going?”
• An emergency hotline:
“Arrived at Egham station. No taxis. Help!”
15
16. The Conference Twitter Hashtag
Twitter is useful at events
when an event hashtag is
used (e.g. #daad2013)
• Anyone can use a
hashtag in their tweets
• Best if organisers
announce hashtag
• Enables relevant tweets
to be searched and
aggregated
• Many Twitter archiving
tools (e.g. Twubs)
• Note difference between
Twitter ID (e.g.
@daadlondon) and
hashtag (#daad2013)
16
17. When Twitter At Conferences Takes Off
Twitter use is wellestablished at the ILI
(Internet Librarian
International) conference
Sharing images provides
visual memories of event
Numbers of Twitterers has
reached critical mass
“Wow” – spotting what
people found interesting
Shared memories
Sharing across different
languages
17
18. Using Twitter: Tweetdeck
All tweets (from
the 1,400
people I follow)
Tweets to me
Current conference (or about me)
hashtag I‟m
interested in
Interactions (e.g.
new followers,
favourited and
retweeted tweets)
Tweets from a
group I created
Tweets from
another group I
created
18
19. Examples
Curating Tweeted Links: RebelMouse
RebelMouse:
• Automatically curates
visual summary of
tweeted links
• Can create pages based
on preferred hashtags
See

20. Using Storify
Storify:
• Manual curation of
tweets
Useful for:
• Archiving tweets about
one‟s own talks,
workshop sessions, …
(Archive of realtime user
feedback, areas of
interest and concerns)
• Preparation of
conference reports,
based on collective
insights

“#uklibchat, #ECRchat, #PhDchat, #Socialcha
• Look at the
archives to see
what you
missed.
24
25. Lanyrd
Lanyrd: your online
presence at events
Lanyrd:
• Can provide a
speaker profile
• See who else
attends events
you speak at /
attend
• Authentication
by Twitter
25
27. Lanyrd
Lanyrd:
• Could provide
an event‟s web
site (provides
social aspects)
• Slides hosted
on Slideshare
can be
embedded
• Note
encouragement
to use Twitter
event hashtag
27
28. Observing Patterns of Use
Tools such as SocialBro
provide an understanding
of how Twitter is used
• Most follow >100
• Most tweet daily
• Most tweet 2-5
times/day
28
29. Observing Patterns of Use
Crowdbooster is a
Web-based Twitter
analytics tool
Note this is the „potential‟ no. of impressions. Reality will be
much less!
29
30. Examples
Researcher Profiling Services
Relevance for you:
• You‟re a researcher: shouldn‟t your research
interests and outputs be freely available?
• You‟re a young researcher: shouldn‟t this information
be decoupled from your (current) institution?
• You want your information to be easily found:
shouldn‟t you use a global service with high Google
visibility?
Relevant services:
• ResearchGate
• Academia.edu
• (ORCID)

and „shares‟ can be
sent by email
45
47. Evidence
Importance of Evidence
How might we gather evidence of the value of use of
social media for researchers?
• Provide some examples of approaches
Four examples of evidence of benefits of use of social
media:
1. As part of the research process
2. For identifying and making contact with new
collaborators
3. To raise the visibility of research
4. Looking at the numbers
47
48. Evidence 1: Role in the Research Process
LSE Impact blog
From post on the
LSE Impact of Social
Sciences blog:
• Evidence of how
a tweet led to a
series of blog
posts which
became a peerreviewed article
• Evidence of how
the blog post
about this
become popular
48
49. Evidence 2: Making New Connections
Developing New Connections
• Tweet sent asking for researchers to complete
survey on use of Web 2.0 in research
• Response from @slewth
• Who is she?
• Twitter bio: disability researcher
• Link in bio to her blog
• Blog gives insights which complement my
research
• Follow @slewth and have Twitter chat
Follow-up
• Shall we write a paper?
• Paper written
• Paper accepted
• Paper wins prize for best paper
• Sarah later told me she knew of my research
See blog posts on “It Started With A Tweet”
and “Winner of John M Slatin Award at W4A 2010”

51. Evidence 4: Looking at the Numbers
What do
download
statistics
tell us?
Download figures
for my papers

52. Least Downloaded Papers
Will papers in a
repository be
seldom seen?
52
What can be
learn from
approaches
taken for the
popular and
unpopular
papers?
53. How Does It Work?
“It’s About Nodes and Connections”
Cameron Neylon keynote at OR 2012:
“Networks qualitatively change our
capacity”
• With only 20% of a community connected
only limited interaction can take place
• This increases drastically as numbers of
connected nodes grows
Examples:
• Phone networks (no use with only 1 user!)
• Tweeting at this event
• Galaxy Zoo
“Filters block. Filters cause
friction”
Need for client-side, not
supply-side filters.
53
54. SEO (Search Engine Optimisation)
Web sites
Real
world
Databases
(e.g. IRs)
Directories
Google
(Bing,
DuckDuckGo,
…)
Summary of key approaches:
• Apply various techniques to Web
resources to make resources easier to
find in Google, …
• Resources may include organisational
Web suites, third party Web
sites, databases, …
54
55. Beyond SEO, SMO
Web sites
Databases
(e.g. IRs)
Real
world
Directories
55
Social Services
(Facebook,
Slideshare,
Twitter, …)
Summary of key approaches:
• Make use of social networking
services which people may use of
discuss your services
• Services may include Facebook,
LinkedIn, Slideshare, Twitter, …
56. Risks
Risks, Limitations, Concerns
Over to you:
• What concerns do you have?
• What risks do you envisage?
• What limitations might social media have
for your in your area of research?
56
57. Risks
“It Doesn’t Work in Humanities”
“They1 found, for example, that science researchers
… are more likely to use Twitter, while mathematicians
and computer scientists are more predisposed to archive
their own material, and, like classicists, to disseminate
their research outputs themselves. Social scientists
on the other hand are more reluctant to use new
technologies, for example they are less likely to Tweet
or use a laptop at a conference.”

Research, RLUK Report, http://www.rluk.ac.uk/content/

58. Risks
“It Doesn’t Work For Me!”
The Social Web and the Belbin Model, UK Web Focus blog, 27 May 2009
Thoughts:
• It‟s fine not to be
good at
everything!
• But what if you
don‟t like speaking
in public?
• Perhaps there‟s a
need for a social
media role in
research team
• Avoid deprecating
social media just
cos you don‟t like
it!
58
59. Risks
The Service May Not Be Sustainable
But what if:
• Facebook goes out of business?
• Google withdraws („sunsets‟) its services
• Slideshare is taken over and changes its terms &
conditions and operational practices?
But also need to consider:
• ICL is taken over by Fujitsu
• IBM sells it PC division & stops making computers
• You developed departmental systems based on
dBase III
• UMIST merges with Manchester University
• …
59
60. Risks
A Risk Management Approach
But what about:
•
•
•
•
•
See Empowering users and their
institutions: A risks and opportunities
framework for exploiting the potential of
the social web, Kelly & Oppenheim, 2009
Legal, ethical & privacy concerns
My boss doesn‟t approve; my institution doesn‟t approve
It doesn‟t work in my discipline
It doesn‟t work for me
I‟m worried GooFace isn‟t sustainable; is evil.
Risks and opportunities framework:
• It‟s not about „social media‟ it‟s about „social
media for a particular purpose‟
• Be clear of potential benefits & associated risks
• Remember the risks of not doing things
• There will be costs (but may be small)
• Adopt risk minimisation strategies
• Base decisions on evidence
• Be aware of biases and subjective factors
60
61. Next Steps
What Next?
From the Hyperlinked Library MOOC, develop:
• A plan for your Online Professional Learning Network:
Goals; scope; resources and maintenance plan
