Social media platforms can be used to share and promote research. There are social media platforms specifically for the research space.  It is also a way to promote yourself as a researcher.

Why are they important?

  • Social media promotion of research correlates with higher citations and downloads of your research. 
  • It connects your research more broadly and shares it more widely
  • Sharing your research allows you to control the flow of information, you ensure that the message that gets promoted is the one that reflects your work, rather than through a third party.
  • Find others interested in similar areas and connect with them,engaging with your area of research more broadly and finding new research collaborations and opportunities.
