Workshop: Grow your research impact - RMIT University
This document provides an agenda and schedule for a workshop on growing research impact through social media. The workshop is led by Joyce Seitzinger and will cover building profiles on Google Scholar, ResearchGate, and Academia.edu. It will also cover using Twitter, LinkedIn, and other tools to connect to research communities and explore how different media are used to share research. Participants will work on preparing a research artifact to share via social media and discuss curation strategies and apps. The goal is to help researchers set up a personal social media strategy to support their work.

- 11. WHAT’S YOUR STORY? Dr.Pat Thomson, an expert and prolific blogger on academic practice and academic identity, shares the following: I think about the academic profile as a narrative. It is a narrative of the scholar we are and the scholar want to be. Put more simply, an academic profile is a story we tell to ourselves and to other people and organisations. Our profile story focuses on the kinds of scholarly work we have done, can do and hope to do in the future. It signals the particular scholarly interests we have, what we stand for and what we think is important. It brings together our various experiences, publications, networks, teaching and professional relationships. It traces our intellectual history and points to a path ahead.
- 12. WHAT’S YOUR STORY? Activity(20 minutes) (Re)write 160 character bio (suitable for social profiles) (Re)write a 2-3 paragraph bio (suitable for longer profiles, like blog or The Conversation) Feedback in pairs Share
- 13. WHAT’S YOUR AIM? Dr.Pat Thomson, an expert and prolific blogger on academic practice and academic identity, shares the following: • An academic profile is also highly performative. It has to do work for us. The work we want our profile to do varies, but generally includes: • (1) instrumental work. We want our academic profile to help us do something – get a job either outside or inside a university, get funding, get published, tell readers who we are and the basis on which we write. • (2) disciplinary and scholarly work. We want our academic profile to indicate the kinds of intellectual traditions we work in, show the scholarly/policy/practice/professional communities with whom we sit and talk, and the ways in which our intellectual contributions to policy/practice/ scholarly conversations have gone and will go.

- 49. ACADEMIC BLOGGING Using socialmedia has helped give my research a media profile which otherwise would have been impossible, particularly at this stage of my career. It’s made me easy to discover for journalists and it’s helped me forged a rich array of connections with the broader community who have been the subject of my research. I’ve also found that, increasingly, journalists have read my blog posts or listened to my podcasts before they contact me and it hugely aids the subsequent dialogue.
