Social media: A guide for researchers

11 Feb 2011


The effect that social media is having on the research environment is becoming more and more clear. New ways of sharing research findings through blogs, peer-to-peer review through instant communication and countless more current and emerging ways of finding and disseminating information are transforming academia.

The International Centre for Guidance Studies has produced a guide to social media for researchers, to demonstrate what is out there and how it can be used (and mis-used). Consuming and producing social media, blogging, and project management, meeting and collaboration tools are all discussed, alongside criticisms of the phenomenon. You can view the guide by following the link below.
