- 1. Online Social Networking for the Sciences: How an Average Scientist Makes Himself Visible Antony Williams NCSU, October 5th 2013
- 2. Visibility Means Discoverability • Does a Social Profile matter? • You are visible, when you share your skills, experience and research activities by: • • • • • • Establishing a public profile Getting on the record Collaborative Science Demonstrating a skill set Measured using “alternative metrics” Contributing to the public peer review process
- 3. The world of the online CV • CVs and resumes are mainstream • Re.vu • LinkedIn Profile • Your blog page • Remember Google represents your activities and can represent your CV too….

- 16. Maybe you should be a brand? • If you are going forth into the social network adopt a “brand name” throughout the network • Search Google for your “brand name” • Choose a unique brand or be yourself BRAND: Collabchem, ChemConnector YOURSELF: egonwillighagen, joergwegner

An Online Profile • Methods of sharing science online include: • • • • • • • • Wikis or blogs Slideshare for presentations YouTube for videos Flickr, Wikimedia etc. for images ChemSpider for chemistry GoogleDocs for data Google Scholar Citations for citations Microsoft Academic Scholar for papers

ScientistsDB • Write your OWN article on ScientistsDB • It is a community-policed site but it is “your” page • An article, once approved by the community, can, in theory, be moved to Wikipedia if you meet the notability criteria • All content is licensed under standard CCBY-SA 3.0 licensing provided by Wikipedia
- 24. Are you a-tweeting on Twitter? • 140 characters to connect and communicate • Use your “brand name” on Twitter – it has high frequency here… • Greatest value for me – bite-sized nuggets into information of interest and leading people into information I wish to share including my posts, my activities • Faster responses than email commonly!

- 37. Share/Manage Your Publications • Where do you “manage your publications”? • Share your “activities” with the community • My publications/slides/videos are my CV on • • • • • My Blog On LinkedIn On SlideShare On Researchgate On Academia.edu
