There are two approaches for the scientist on social media
‣ Talking to other scientists"‣ Engaging the public"

As scientists, we’re losing the public relations battle.

While science outreach is crucial, here we’re going to focus on communication with other scientists & interested stakeholders.

I’m not pretending to be a expert here, this is about my personal experience - with some data thrown in

“We don’t have a choice on social media. The choice is how well we do it.”

People are already talking about your research online, don’t miss the chance to be a part of that conversation.

Can people easily find your publications? Your CV? Your area of expertise?

Research will always need to be disseminated, social media is a just new a means of distributing your ideas.
![Page 14: Using social media to develop your scientific career · Using social media to develop your scientific career Daniel S. Quintana - @dsquintana ... Erik Qualman, author of ‘Socialnomics’"](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060410/5f106ff17e708231d4491aec/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

In an another lab, almost 10,000 people ‘liked’ a news story about their research that a local TV station posted on their Facebook page. They only realised this sometime later, when it was too late - stories have a VERY short half-life online.
![Page 16: Using social media to develop your scientific career · Using social media to develop your scientific career Daniel S. Quintana - @dsquintana ... Erik Qualman, author of ‘Socialnomics’"](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060410/5f106ff17e708231d4491aec/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Five reasons why social media is worth your time
1. Exposure"2. Collaboration"3. Source of information"4. Shift from impact factors to social media metrics"5. Peer support
![Page 17: Using social media to develop your scientific career · Using social media to develop your scientific career Daniel S. Quintana - @dsquintana ... Erik Qualman, author of ‘Socialnomics’"](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060410/5f106ff17e708231d4491aec/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
1. Social media boosts your exposure
‣ Traditionally, you had to rely on journal publications (slow) or conferences (infrequent/expensive)"
‣ Social media helps level the playing field "‣ Good ideas are spread, exponentially "‣ Less time between ‘publications’, you can
continually add to the conversation"
![Page 18: Using social media to develop your scientific career · Using social media to develop your scientific career Daniel S. Quintana - @dsquintana ... Erik Qualman, author of ‘Socialnomics’"](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060410/5f106ff17e708231d4491aec/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

2. Social media can facilitate collaboration
‣ Someone out there is in need of your expertise, now they can find you"
‣ The distance between disciplines become much smaller"
‣ Pre-conference ice breaker"‣ Twitter collaborations are now becoming
more commonplace"

3. Social media provides a great source of information‣ Can’t access a paywalled article? No
problems with #ICanHazPdf"‣ You can eavesdrop on thousands of ‘water
cooler’ conversations"‣ Unsure about some code? Just tweet the
developer!"‣ Want to get better at writing? Lots of great
blogs on becoming a better writer

4. The shift from impact factors to altmetrics
‣ Altmetrics = alternative metrics"‣ More journals are emphasising altmetrics
(e.g., Frontiers, PLoS)"‣ Also a shift to post-publication review (e.g.,
Pubmed commons)"!

5. Social media provides peer support
‣ Communities have come together to form ad-hoc peer support"
‣ #PhDchat & #ECRchat"‣ #ShutUpAndWrite"‣ #Rstats"!

Facebook!
‣ Best suited for scientific outreach and groups"
‣ Some scientists use this as a communication tool with others but many keep Facebook for family/friends "
‣ Less ‘open’ than twitter"‣ Facebook chooses what your
followers see (twitter doesn’t)"!
