In this Post I would like to reccommend an interesting article with a title: How Are Scientists Using Social Media in the Workplace? I decided to post this article, because before finding it, I would have not thought that there is a certain way in which Scientists may utilize Social Meida but now, belive me there is and here is what author suggests:
How scientists utilize or may utilize social media to convey their findings is an intriguing topic in the field of science communication right now. This covers the function of social media in enabling sharing of information both internally and among scientific communities, as well as outside for public reach. Authors study gives a result base upon how 587 scientists from a wide range of academic disciplines, but primarily the biologics, utilize social media to communicate internally and externally. Statistics in the article show that, while social media use is still in its primitve state, scientists from a wide range of disciplines use social media platforms to share scientific knowledge, most commonly via Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, or blogs. Despite the low frequency of use, research shows that scientists see social media as having significant potential benefits in the workplace. Article establishes a baseline against which future changes in science academy social media use can be assessed.
