increase your research competitiveness using web 2.0 tools
DESCRIPTION
In this talk (60th ICREA Colloquium, 11/03/2014) I summarised the benefits which can be gained from use of social media (specially blogs and Twitter) to support research activities. According to some authors there is evidence that using social media can be really beneficial to increase the impact of research papers, get new information, engage with fellow researchers and meet new collaborators, among others utilities. So I provided examples of blogs, Twitter and other resources as tools for scientific communication, as well as discussed their implications for digital scholarship.TRANSCRIPT

It increases your visibility within academia.
It increases your visibility outside academia.
It increases your visibility more than a static site.
It’s a great way of making connections.
It makes it easier for people to find your published work.
It’s a great way to promote events and call for papers.

The purpose of keeping the blog is to give me a semi-public place to describe the ongoing process of doing and thinking about my lab’s research. I hope I’ll use itto describe/explain (mainly to myself) the scientific issues I'm thinking about:
- what experiments we’ve done
- what the results were if they worked (or possible explanations for why they didn’t work)
- what experiments I think we might do or should do when time and resources permit.

Sure-fire tips for academic bloggers working to improve their craft
1) Remember the Web is a network, not a single-track railway line – and not everyone
uses the web in the same way. So once you have a blog post, do everything you can to get the key content out to diverse readerships who want to see it. Post your links to Twitter (several times,
at different times of the day) and Facebook. Let people subscribe by RSS or email.
2) Talk to your readers. Encourage people to comment (but only
post their comments after moderation) and respond to comments and to Tweets. Talk to people on Twitter and Facebook when they discuss your work. And be reciprocal, open-minded and fair in sharing your content with others and linking to their work – improving the public understanding of social science is a huge collective good for all social scientists. We can all flourish together in the new paradigm for academic work.

The role of Twitter in the life cycle of a scientific publication
• Start: to generate new ideas
• Manuscript: pre-review of works in progress.
• Published: communicate research to a broad audience that can amplify the scientific and social impact of publications.
• Major funding boards are starting to value the social media impact of the research values.
