What is social media?
• Decide on a definition for social media in your group
• Identify key terms
![Page 7: Social media for researchers workshop 4th July 2012 University of Southampton](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5550d73bb4c905f2318b5165/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Social media is…
• “Internet services where the online content is generated by the users of the service.”
– Quinnell, 2012• “Social media are online communications in which
individuals shift fluidly and flexibly between the role of audience and author. To do this, they use social software that enables anyone without knowledge of coding, to post, comment on, share or mash up content and to form communities around shared interests.”
– Thronley, 2008

Why use social media?
• Identity• Connection• Sharing expertise
![Page 10: Social media for researchers workshop 4th July 2012 University of Southampton](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5550d73bb4c905f2318b5165/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Social media can…
• Expand your research network to increase opportunities for collaboration, employment, funding, discussion and research
• Access collective intelligence to become more knowledgeable about your own fields of research
• Establish a reputation that demonstrates your expertise and the significance and relevance of your research
• Practice your debating, discussion and thinking skills• To conduct research
-- Gillaspy, 2012

How do you do it?
1. How do you make sense of your academic / professional practice? i.e. what do you do?
2. How can social media support what you do? 3. How can social media disrupt what you do?

Knowledge identification
• Sharing information with many networks simultaneously and consistently will help to identify, manage and sort relevant knowledge – Audience– Wider dissemination– Many to many networks– Manage and organise– Quality of access for others
-- Nelson, 2012

Knowledge creation
• Utilizing and engaging multiple tools to create knowledge and develop skill sets to manage the information that has been identified.– Gathering information for collaboration– Build something– Create original content– Use different networks
-- Nelson, 2012

Qualifying Knowledge
• Overcoming unknown hurdles of quality(REF for current reference), which is in flux, and validating its use and quality for knowledge.– Ownership / Access– Authorship, social media footprint - expert? Publishing
record? – What determines experts or measuring quality– Seeing comments then sharing that information – Integration and interaction between author and comments
-- Nelson, 2012

sources. – Terms and conditions on the social networks – Who owns the
content?– Blogging as a way of individualizing yourself– Branding / social media strategy

purpose?• How might social media tools improve your
collaborative practice?• Are there any potential risks to using collaborative
working tools in an academic/professional context? – Ethical/Legal? – Practical/Logistical? – Quality assurance? -- Gillaspy, 2012

Wisdom of the crowds
Surowieck’s principles essential for wisdom of crowds: 1. Independence – Everyone’s working on their own project
2. Diversity– Drawn from a range of different backgrounds/disciplines
3. Decentralisation– Bringing people together who are funded and managed
in different ways
-- Surowieck, 2004

Using tags
There are some things to consider when using tags:• Personal:
– Personal organisation / management of bookmarks, searchable tag list / cloud
• Group: – Participatory / democratic knowledge base
• Social: – Use as search engine, keyword / user search other user bookmarks,
subscriptions / networks

Digital professionalism
What not to share:• Think of two things that you would share
about your research, and two things that you wouldn’t share about your research.
• Discuss in the group why you made these decisions.

What we could do
• Raise awareness of range of tools and their usefulness for different scenarios
• Examples of successful use and good practice• Guidelines for training, enabling informed decision
making• Standards for and advice on curation and
preservation.
