Scholars are knowledge producers. Traditionally, that knowledge has appeared in bound volumes, printed by for-profit, third party publishers, for a very narrow audience of other academics with access to those volumes. Within this system of knowledge production, peer-review was a closed, and often very slow, process. The method for measuring the influence of scholars through “impact factor” (i.e., by counting the number of times their articles are cited by other articles) has hardly changed since it was created in the mid-20th century.
That is changing now.

Twitter and Blogs go hand in hand
It’s not about tools, it’s about creating the right network
Bad networks!
Good networks!

Social media: a guide for researchers

What are social media?
Taken from @ajcann
Digital literacy
• “the ability to participate in a range of critical and creative practices that involve understanding, sharing and creating meaning with different kinds of technology and media.”
From Futurelab: Digital literacy across the curriculum http://www.futurelab.org.uk/resources/documents/handbooks/digital_literacy.pdf
JISC: Digital literacies for HE/FE• ICT literacy• Information literacy• Visual & multimedia
literacy• Communication and
collaboration• Learning skills• Life-planning• Digital scholarship
• “Digital literacy defines those capabilities which fit an individual for living, learning and working in a digital society”
http://www.jisc.ac.uk/developingdigitalliteracies
Digital scholarship• the ability to participate in emerging academic, professional and
research practices that depend on digital systems, for example:• use of digital content (including digitised collections of primary
and secondary material as well as open content) in teaching, learning and research
• use of virtual learning and research environments• use of emergent technologies in research contexts• open publication• the awareness of issues around content discovery, authority,
reliability, provenance, licence restrictions, adaption/repurposing and assessment of sources
• Thinking about your particular discipline or role, in what ways do you think digital communication can help or hinder you in developing scholarly activity?
• How could the development of digital scholarly approaches have an impact on other areas of work (eg teaching, student support, administration, management)?
• What new skills do you think are needed by the digitally literate researcher?
