To consider
• Intensity of reading/research versus intensity of networking [time]
• How risk averse do you *need* to be?• How open do you *need* to be?• What is the balance between soft and
hard publishing?• How do you use your networks to
challenge your own orthodoxy?
![Page 19: DMU Social Media for Researchers](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033109/58a7cd441a28ab6b5a8b6849/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
To consider• What permissions do you need to use
stuff?• What permissions do you want to give
your stuff?• Think about your identity across
disparate platforms• Think about being true, necessary and
kind• Think about your e-safety [personal
relationships, the institution/funder, the State]
