Social media…
“a group of Internet-based applications that build
on the ideological and technological foundations
of Web 2.0, and that allow the creation and
exchange of User Generated Content”
(Kaplan & Haenlein, 2010, p. 61)
Are you using
social media to
share your PhD
research?
If yes, how?
If no, why not?
I started using social media during my PhD...
…and kept twittering on! Why?
Opening doors
New opportunities
Find my voice
Personal ‘brand’
Keep track
Share research
Do research
Teaching practices
Employability
An invaluable network…
#help…
My twitter network help me do my job…
What they
said
Finding, connecting, sharing
For promoting your own research?
Engaging with many audiences
Future trends…
look towards the PhD community!
Tweet your PhD in 140 characters

2. Tweet and include #SSAPChat
3. Share colleagues’ work with your

We all have something to say
and something to share
Share your presentations
Aggregate and expand through blogging
Monitor and measure
“If (social media interaction is often) then
(Open access + social media = increased downloads)”
Melissa Terras (2012)
Social media, research citations and impact
Sharing your content
on LinkedIn to
develop your
professional identities
Sharing your research
on academic
networking sites
Go where your audiences are
One last thing…
• Google the person next to you
–Can you find them?
–Are they contactable?
–Do they present themselves well?
• When you get home, Google yourself!
• My citations on Google Scholar
