Prescribing a Digital Technology

● You need to understand why you are taking it

● You need to understand the benefits

● You need to understand the side-effects

● You need to understand that the benefits may take time

● You may need two courses

● You may need a different intervention

● Do not feel pressured to use it - as it won’t work

Netiquette

Being a ‘Digital Citizen’ The ability to participate in society online

Be polite

Remember your conversation is no longer private

Don’t start fights you cannot finish

Don’t get into fights

Don’t say something that you would not be prepared to say in public

Don’t troll

Don’t share poor quality information

Mossberger, Karen. "Digital Citizenship. the Internet.society and Participation By Karen Mossberger, Caroline J. Tolbert, and Ramona S. McNeal.

http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Citizenship-Internet-Society-Participation/dp/0262633531.

Don’t use Social Media

When you’re drunk

Angry

Argumentative

Upset

Unhappy (frequent online moaners usually get

offloaded)

Have a really stupid idea/thought

It’s not just students who faux pas

Or at least point them to the right social network

Social Media Myths

My demographic don’t use Social Media

I can’t show my personality on Social Media

It will take up too much of my time

Only celebrities and trolls use Social Media

It’s a passing trend

It’s not really work

Social Media Myths Debunked

Increasing number of academics and over 50s using Social Media

Who says you can’t use your personality? As long as that personality

remains professional, does not offend or get you the sack

It will take up as much time as you give it - everything in moderation

(but it can be addictive) there are tools for better management

Only celebs and trolls use Social Media - everyone uses it

It’s a fad - over 1 Billion active users on Facebook is more than a fad

It’s not really work - It depends how you use it, it is a superb way to

make contacts, find work, promote your work, build your profile

Social Media Myths (2)

You have to be technically gifted to use Social

Media

I don’t have time to use it

Only my friends can see what I post on

Facebook

If I delete something on the web it’s gone

forever

Social Media Myths Debunked (2) If you can use a smartphone, text, or email you can use

Social Media

By employing your mobile device more you can make time

(71%* of people access Social Media on their mobile

device)

Others can share your content, post things about you,

Facebook tracks you when you are not on it - facial

recognition

If I delete something on the Web it’s probably still there in

a cache, has been ReTweeted, blogged, captured. *http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalmarketing/digital-marketing/mobile/adobe-2013-mobile-consumer-survey-

Social Media & Dr John Holmes

“Twitter has been useful for sustaining and building relationships with

academics outside Sheffield. It provides a starting point for conversation at

conferences, a sense of the interests of potential collaborators and a way

of identifying who the people you should be talking to are.

Although trolls are generally to be avoided, those hostile to public health

perspectives are not all trolls. Engagement with those people is useful as

it exposes you to different perspectives on your work, can help you

understand how it is regarded by those outside the scientific and public

health community, identify the key criticisms of your work (and the best

way to respond to them) and lead you toward new research questions and

ideas. In short, it helps you think about public health outside of a lefty,

state intervention, received wisdom on 'what works' paradigm.”

Professional tool for a mostly non-academic audience. Useful for connecting with those

aligned to your research outside of the academy. Crowdsources your talents.

Alternative metric and useful way to share research outputs to an academic audience.

Discover research in your field and what journal is best for you

Social network for researchers for sharing research and follow research in your field of

work

Superb icebreaker, social network and discovery engine.

Social network of like-minded researchers. Huge database of papers and references.

Reference management and alternative metric tool

Social network that connects to your LinkedIn and Academia.edu accounts. Discovers

researchers with similar interests

Useful alternative to Facebook. Works very similarly with circles and communities. Useful

for teaching staff and those running events

Social Media & Professor Allan Pacey

“See social media as part of one continuum, it is the spine

of what I do”

“Puts a human face to your professional profile, helps

public and patients see who I am, some patients follow my

updates”

Recent £750,000 MRC Grant aided by solid impact

statement backed by strong public profile - “Referee’s

comment was I cannot fault it”

“Helps me stay top of my game”

Social Media & Professor Trish Greenhalgh British professor of primary health care

“I’ve got my last two PhD students from Twitter”

“I’ve got my most recent research collaboration from Twitter”

“I was invited to edit a major new journal article series via a message on

Twitter”

“Our paper ‘EBM – a movement in crisis’ was the most highly cited paper in the

BMJ in 2014 directly because of a targeted twitter campaign to promote it.”

Social Media & Claire Beecroft “A fantastic way to stay at the cutting edge of research and debate in my field- I find

research and content for my modules via Twitter and blogs all the time.”

“A great way to grow your academic network and to be better able to socialise and

network in-person at conference and events- I know people there already, even if

I've only 'met' them via the conference hashtag on the train on my way there”

“I would feel incredibly 'out of the loop' if I stopped using social media tools”

“Promoting our courses (taught,CPD and short)- is very cost-effective way of

promoting what we offer, and events like the online open days”

“A very fast way of getting answers and opinions from peers about topics in my

field”

Problems with current model

Lags behind current publishing models

No direct ‘right to reply’

Can slow down the publication process - rivalry/stealing of ideas/bias

Contradictory reviews (good and bad)

Pressure from editors to cite papers from their journal

Reviewer may not have adequate knowledge of research they are reviewing

Barriers to openness

Fear of criticising peers (especially senior ones)

Reluctance by academics to put their name where their mouth is - could reduce

the pool of reviewers

Trolling behaviour

Confusion over platform choice

Better definition needed between commenting, reviewing and discussing

Could be a time sink responding to comments

Increased time taken to review papers

Possible need for moderation of comments

Benefits of open peer review

Builds potential collaborations

Helps identify problems with published research

Creates a better academic community

Helps identify similar research

So, what are they?

Traditional metrics struggle to reflect this

- Slow to accrue

- Focus mostly on published articles

Published

June 2014:

Starting to impact the behaviour of academics

Development of altmetrics (alternative indicators)

To complement, not replace traditional metrics

Help people understand how research is being received and used, and by

who

Not intended as an indicator of quality

Can help provide further evidence of engagement and ‘societal impact’

Give credit for research outputs other than articles

What Altmetrics look at

Digging into the data

The Altmetric score and donut

● developed to give an at-a-glance summary of the attention work has received

● not an indicator of quality of the research!

● useful when looking at data for lots of articles at once

Demographics

Twitter data from bio’s

Mendeley data based

on who has saved the

article to their library -

anonymised
