To social network or not to social network?

Having worked through this section, think about how you might engage or become more engaged with online social networking. Here are some ides:

  • Dissemination. Consider whether social networking tools could play a role in disseminating your research, in terms of reaching a larger audience and getting your results out more quickly.
  • Copyright. Be aware of issues such as copyright when uploading any of your published work on social networking sites.
  • Time Factors. Consider the time involved to maintain a blog or personal website. Is this really a good use of your time? If you already have a blog have a look at any usage statistics, as these may help assess how worthwhile the time you dedicate to this really is.
  • Contacts and Collaborators. Think about the value of any contacts and collaborators you have located via social networking. Have they added value to your research?
