Dissimination?
"the act of diffusing knowledge"
5
Its about democratization of knowledge, that should fully incorporate principles of accessibility
![Page 6: Dissemination 2.0 - the role of social media in research dissemination](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051322/53fed4038d7f72965c8b469c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
why should we increase access?
• It’s greater competition than ever in science • The society is dependent up on systematic
knowledge from research
• Citizens pays for most of it…..thus the science needs to be disseminated back to citizens 6

only 1%
of the Norwegian population are not interested in research (which is similar to
other western countries)

90%
thinks research is of great importance for the society
Citizens do want to play a role in science – they want to know
what’s going on

So how can scientists disseminate their science?

Traditional dissemination is important, but not
very accessible, transparent or visible
Journal papers in traditional journals (low accessibility)
Conference participation (low accessibility)

but, we can use social media
20
However, the principles and possibilities of disseminating research have changed with the introduction of social media – dissemination 2.0.

Benefits using social media in research
• Visibility: More people can see and get access to my work
• Sharing: When you share your research other people will share with you as well
• New contacts: You get in touch with a lot of researchers and other persons and institutions interested in your field
• Discussion: You can discuss and get new insights in your field
• Feedback: It’s motivating – ”wow, nearly 400 people have seen my paper, and over 3000 have seen my presentation. In addition several people have favourited and downloaded it” 38

Science 2.0 generally refers to new practices of scientists that make their research or data transparent
for others to see, comment or analyze
