Diversity of needs• I work on diverse projects (drug discovery, grant
writing etc.)• Need to make people aware that I am here and gain
visibility for work• Different networks (neglected disease, rare disease)• Different audience backgrounds (cheminformatics,
patients, investors)• Different needs (customers for software vs
customers for consulting, vs VCs for investment)

figshare for institutions•place to manage all institutional research outputs•upload any file format, previewed in the browser•integrates with existing infrastructure - makes for an easy,
familiar login
• complies with funder mandates on open data• increases the discoverability of research content through integrations• clean, easy-to-navigate interface
![Page 36: Five Ways to Use Social Media to Raise Awareness for Your Paper or Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030223/588391cd1a28ab07628b7757/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
uploading your data is quick and easy
• encourages reuse• helps researchers present data in a
way that can be interpreted by others• improves exposure • increases citations• meets funder mandates around open
data and sustainable hosting• drives usage to publication

Google Scholar• Do not have to do anything once set up• Useful to check ‘cites’ and do searches, no frills
![Page 74: Five Ways to Use Social Media to Raise Awareness for Your Paper or Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030223/588391cd1a28ab07628b7757/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
How to Measure Impact
![Page 75: Five Ways to Use Social Media to Raise Awareness for Your Paper or Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030223/588391cd1a28ab07628b7757/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Are you more than just a metric?• Are we too focused on measuring too much
• Could become obsessed about these tools and measurement
• Social media is not likely to help a bad paper or scientific idea – may actually roast the scientist
• We are missing the big picture –we are doing science we should be conversing…
![Page 76: Five Ways to Use Social Media to Raise Awareness for Your Paper or Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030223/588391cd1a28ab07628b7757/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
REDDIT – continue the conversation
![Page 77: Five Ways to Use Social Media to Raise Awareness for Your Paper or Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030223/588391cd1a28ab07628b7757/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
The Highs and Lows• Highs.. When someone else blogs on our papers, journalist writes about work
• When a rare disease parent finds you
• When you start a new collaboration via Twitter
• Lows.. When you get people stalking /trolling your science and writing really nasty things on blogs, Twitter etc. and yet they have done nothing
• Journalists that totally twist your words / waste time
• When you realize that you still have >100 papers to summarize in Kudos
• When you get introduced to a new tool and realize you have to repeat weeks of work that you have already done elsewhere
![Page 78: Five Ways to Use Social Media to Raise Awareness for Your Paper or Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030223/588391cd1a28ab07628b7757/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Summary• Multiple levels of tools
• 1 – data sources = Slideshare, figshare, blogs, journals etc.
• 2 – compilers = Google Scholar, Research Gate, Academia, GrowKudos
• 3 – tools that provide scores of output= altmetric, Research Gate
• There are too many tools you need to use – adds to stress
• Select carefully – many duplicate / overlap in function
• Unclear benefits of some tools – time wasting
• LinkedIn may not be enough

Tools I am not a big fan of• Poor design• Unclear whats in it for me• Spurious results
• But they may be of use to you …..

Research Gate• Barely use it..a couple of times a year – provide
reprint requests – get many annoying email alerts
![Page 81: Five Ways to Use Social Media to Raise Awareness for Your Paper or Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030223/588391cd1a28ab07628b7757/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Research Gate - Why do I need a score? What does it mean?
![Page 82: Five Ways to Use Social Media to Raise Awareness for Your Paper or Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030223/588391cd1a28ab07628b7757/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
I was late to joining Academia
![Page 83: Five Ways to Use Social Media to Raise Awareness for Your Paper or Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030223/588391cd1a28ab07628b7757/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
Academia is a mess• None of these people were my co-authors??
![Page 84: Five Ways to Use Social Media to Raise Awareness for Your Paper or Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030223/588391cd1a28ab07628b7757/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
These are not my co-authors
![Page 85: Five Ways to Use Social Media to Raise Awareness for Your Paper or Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030223/588391cd1a28ab07628b7757/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
Just Weird stuff at Academia• I do not know these authors
![Page 86: Five Ways to Use Social Media to Raise Awareness for Your Paper or Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030223/588391cd1a28ab07628b7757/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Recommendations For You• Do something:
• If you are a new scientist starting out building your network and needing visibility
• Because the sooner you start the easier maintenance will be
• Do nothing:
• If you are an older scientist, retired, with no time
• If you really do not want to be visible
• If you cannot face hours setting up, uploading papers, preprints, summarizing papers etc.
![Page 87: Five Ways to Use Social Media to Raise Awareness for Your Paper or Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030223/588391cd1a28ab07628b7757/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
What it has/ Has not lead to:• Fame and wealth
• Hard to determine if it helped with funding from NIH etc… but I got one grant that started on Twitter…
• Job offers• Having a webpage / CV alone definitely has lead to consulting jobs
• More free time• I think maintaining all the tools sucks up free time!! BEWARE OF THIS
• More relaxed• I am probably less relaxed because I wonder what I am missing or need to improve
• Still opportunities for new tools • Make it easier on the scientist, integrate more of the functions, show clear benefits of participating

Five Ways to Use Social Media to Raise Awareness for Your Paper or Research
• So what are they …At a bare minimum …• 1. Use LinkedIn to tell people what you are doing..• 2. Tweet about your work• 3. Put your slides on Slideshare• 4. Put your data on Figshare• 5. Enrich your papers on Kudos
![Page 89: Five Ways to Use Social Media to Raise Awareness for Your Paper or Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030223/588391cd1a28ab07628b7757/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
How many of you will now raise awareness of your work and papers using social media?
