In this workshop (Master in Translational Medicine-MSc Cellex, University of Barcelona's Faculty of Medicine, 9 March 2016) 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. Structure of the lecture: Introduction, Blogging, Active listening, Microblogging, Networking, Sharing, Health 2.0, Follow the leaders, To deepen..., Conclusions.

2. • 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:

3. • I will summarise the benefits which can be gained
from use of social media (specially blogs, Twitter and
other socialnetwork sites) to support research
activities
• I will provide examples of these innovative emerging
resources as tools for scientific communication

So in this workshop… #MTMUB20
27. Some remarks about altmetrics…
Track the dissemination of research beyond
academia
Show the attention, reception, and response to a
published work prior to it being cited
Can be applied to non-traditional research outputs
like data-sets and blog posts
Show research impact in real-time — scholars and
journals don’t have to wait for their score to be
released, like in the Journal Citation Reports

value of research and richness of scholarly discourse

37. Motive A: Visibility Motive B: Networking Motive C: Information
increase own impact connect with peers be up to date
be found by peers and
other stakeholders
stay in touch with
colleagues
be part of a
conversation
present self/own work
be(come) part of a
community
anticipate trends

Example motives of science bloggers
42. 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 experimentswe’ve done
- what the resultswere 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.

66. Example 3: the power of embedding
A player more with pulmonary embolism? Teletovic, Varejão,
Mickel ... Tall players, lot of flights ... Are they a risk group?

68. Is there anything as rewarding for a researcher as responding to a
hypothesis in a short time?
73. Reason #1: Twitter has very direct, and very relevant
implications for those in Public Health

2
74. 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
79. All tweets (from
the 4,140 people
I follow)
Tweets to me (or
about me)
Tweets related to the
word “recercat”
Tweets to
@LaMaDeFatima
(or about it)

Based on observations in this study and the
increased usage of social media, we posit that
online illness reports could complement
traditional surveillance systems by
providing near real-time information on
foodborne illnesses, implicated foods and
locations.

107. 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

4. Make use of social sharing services for your resources
Once you have created and started to make use of a social media
services…
5. Update your LinkedIn account
6. Create an account on a researcher profiling service
7. Monitor use of Twitter through (freely-available) Twitter analytic tools
