In this workshop (Master in Translational Medicine-MSc Cellex, University of Barcelona, 17 June 2014) I summarised the benefits which can be gained from use of social media (specially blogs, Twitter and other socialnetwork sites) to support research activities, and I provided examples of these innovative emerging resources as tools for scientific communication related to translational medicine, as well as discussed their implications for digital scholarship.

• To get new information • To increase the impact and visibility of research

papers • To engage with fellow researchers and meet new

collaborators • To improve a researcher's public profile, build your on

line reputation and thus competitiveness • As part of the research process

Using social media can be really beneficial:

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 it to 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.

What are your short but 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.

New Scholarship?

“Except for the very end of this process s submitting the paper to the journal for peer-review – none of this way of working bares the least bit of resemblance to how I was trained to be a scholar.”

• Connect • Develop ideas • Disseminate

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.

Reason #1: Twitter has very direct, and very relevant implications for those in Public Health 1

2

Reason #2: It’s a great way to get information you otherwise wouldn’t

Reason #3: At conferences, Twitter is invaluable for stimulating discussion and finding out what is happening in other sessions

Reason #4: For lecturers, Twitter can contribute to discussions and deepen understanding Reason #5: The way we translate information is changing

The “Twitter Experiment” by Monica Rankin (UT Dallas)

http://www.utdallas.edu/~mrankin/usweb/twitterconclusions.htm

http://www.flickr.com/photos/jasonahowie/

A través de les xarxes socials em comunico amb molts dels meus estudiants. Twitter representa per a mi un mitjà privilegiat d’adquisició de coneixement, especialment d’àmbits de recerca especialitzada. Els modes de sociabilitat online basats en la generositat del compartir m’han permès conèixer persones que avui formen part del meu cercle d’amistats més proper. A la xarxa he dut a terme experiències d’aprenentatge que ha motivat i capacitat l’alumnat d’una manera extraordinàriament productiva en termes de rendiment acadèmic. Des de la xarxa comparteixo lectures, recomanacions i citacions literàries que funcionen com a màximes o epifanies i que generen una cascada de reverberacions impossibles d’imaginar en altres suports.

I am a researcher and I am on Twitter… Now what?

7 top twitter tips for academics

All tweets (from the 2,800 people I follow)

Tweets to me (or about me)

Tweets related to the word “recercat”

Tweets to @LaMaDeFatima (or about it)

Manual curation of tweets

To archive tweets about one’s own talks, workshop sessions… (Archive of realtime user feedback, areas of interest and concerns)

To prepare conference reports, based on collective insights

An example

Bio (biografia) Timeline (cronologia) Follower (seguidor) Following (a qui segueixo) Tweet (tuit, piulada) Mention (menció) Retweet (RT) (retuit, repiulada) Fav (preferit) DM (missatge directe) Hashtag (#) (etiqueta) #FF (Follow Friday) (recomanació per

seguir) Trending Topic (TT) (Tema del moment) List (llista) Unfollow(deixar de seguir)

Indicador que oscil·la entre 1 i 100

Mesura la influència d’un compte de Twitter sobre la seva xarxa social, sobre la base de dades com ara el nombre de seguidors, l’activitat i la capacitat d’interacció.

També analitza la presència a Facebook, Google+ o Linkedin, entre d’altres xarxes.

Malgrat algunes crítiques a la seva opacitat, aquest indicador ha esdevingut força popular

Més transparent, la manera de puntuar és pública.

Només es basa en Twitter

Mostra dos subíndexs:

1) Mesura la influència d’un compte sobre els usuaris que el segueixen en una escala de 0 a 1000: nombre de retuits, respostes o nous seguidors generats

2) Mesura l’activitat social o generositat del compte en una escala de 0 a 10: nombre de piulades, retuits o respostes enviades des del propi compte

KRED

Search engines PRÀCTICA 5: Fer les següents cerques en els cinc motors de cerca de la imatge, i comparar els resultats: 1. Microarray technology 2. Mitochondrial oxidative

stress 3. Biobank

Strategy • Define objectives about online presence (as individual researcher or research group)

• Explore the tools and choose the most

appropriate

• Develop your network

• Encourage feedback and discussion

http://www.plosbiology.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pbio.1001535

Top 10 tips to get started

1. Explore online guides .

2. Do some “lurking” (look at examples of good practice).

3. Locate pertinent and relevant online sources (e.g. who to follow on Twitter, interesting bloggers).

4. Start using content aggregation and curation tools (e.g. Feedly, Delicious).

5. Identify a few key tools and start with those – know your limits!

6. Develop your network (e.g. LinkedIn, Twitter hashtags).

7. Join academic social network sites (e.g. ResearchGate, Mendeley).

8. Create your own website

9. Start blogging and twittering about your research (or whatever else takes your fancy!).

10. Participate, join in the conversation!

Over to you

In groups of 3 or 4 discuss:

• What concerns do you have about using social media?

• What risks do you envisage?

• What limitations might social media have in your research area?
