Social media outlets are becoming essential for academia, not just for the promotion of research but for
research development
Find. Use. Disseminate

..‘search’ can provide you with answers only to the questions you ask, whereas social media can also provide you with intelligently-filtered information that helps to stimulate new questions, in the same
way that a conversation with a colleague might.

Using social media for research and academic purposes to:
• Bridge disciplinary boundaries,
• Engage in knowledge exchange with industry and policy makers,
• Provide a channel for the public communication of research

Can we use our social or professional networks to filter the vast array of information down to something that is manageable?

(2) Producing Social Media
"Participants are different. To participate is to act as if your presence matters, as if, when you see something or hear something, your
response is part of the event.“
Social Media theorist Clay Shirky (2010)

debate is being undermined

(3) Answering the Criticisms of Social Media
‘Social media’ covers a wide range of tools and different ways of using them. It is important to be
precise in making and responding to these kinds of criticisms.

There is no single ’right way’ for researchers to use social media. How you use them will depend on you, your discipline, those around you and the research you are doing.
![Page 32: Sciences leveraging social media and](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55cefba4bb61ebe3268b4750/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Academic Research Cycle
Maintaining one-to-one correspondence with everyone who might be useful to you however, quickly results in information overload.
The many-to-many forms of communication that characterise social media offer a more manageable way to stay in touch with a wide variety of researchers with whom you share interests.
![Page 33: Sciences leveraging social media and](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55cefba4bb61ebe3268b4750/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Social media can help you both to discover more and to filter more effectively.
Social media can help to enhance your research capacity within the time limits and workload constraints
academic researchers usually face
Harness your network to help with both discovery and filter

Academic Research CycleCreation of Knowledge
Why would you need social media, especially when there are real risks in communicating what you are doing while you are doing it?
Moving findings into the public domain before they are ready can endanger your ability to publish and potentially provide people with ammunition that they can use against you.
Why make your mistakes in public?
• Opportunities to forge new collaborations and benefit
from the experience of others
• Drawing in expertise to help with research processes (use
of techniques, methods and analysis)
• Receiving feedback as you go rather than waiting until
you reach high stakes moments like submitting to journals
and presenting conference papers
• Raising the profile of your work more rapidly than
conventional academic publishing allows.

Academic Research CycleCreation of Knowledge
Managing the balance between openness and disclosure requires you to
think carefully about how you work and what you are trying to achieve.
There is no right or wrong answer here.

Academic Research CycleQuality Assurance of Knowledge
Social media are not just about an explosion of information.
They also provide users with tools to filter, recommend and comment on quality (objective measures)
Some tools are capable of aggregating the collective recommendations of a disciplinary community so you can gain an overview about where value might lie.
![Page 39: Sciences leveraging social media and](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55cefba4bb61ebe3268b4750/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Quality AssuranceBlogs, microblogs and social networks can provide an informal space where new ideas and research can be reviewed and discussed in a way similar to conventional academic conferences, but unbounded by time and place.
How do you filter
quality research?

Academic Research CycleDissemination of Knowledge
Social media are above all about communication and are therefore ideal for researchers who wish to make their research more widely available
![Page 41: Sciences leveraging social media and](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55cefba4bb61ebe3268b4750/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Academic Research CycleDissemination of Knowledge
When considering how best to share your research however, there are a number of questions that you are likely to want to think about. These include:
What is the appropriate tone for publication of scholarly ideas via social media?
Do I write as if I were producing a conventional academic article or do I need a different approach?
What should I publish and when? Do I wait for things to be published in academic journals or can I start dissemination earlier?
Are there intellectual property and copyright implications if I make ideas and results available using social media?
Who is my audience? Social media can generally be read by anyone and so it is possible that your Head of Department, your peers, your research subjects and the general public may all read what you write.
