Introduction
• Scientists are like genes; they only get noticed when they
express themselves
• We are in the midst of a web-enabled revolution in
scholarly communication
• This revolution cannot be precisely circumscribed but
Social Media, Altmetrics, Open Access and Open Data
are central strands
• There are successful scientists who to appear to ignore all
this (but they probably delegate)
• The rest of us need to engage as teams and individuals
• Adeptness at this is becoming career-enhancing

Between relevant and “push” followers
• Many twitter accounts I follow have over 50% spurious followers
• I purge ~ 2-4 per week by “blocking”
• A general Social Media problem
• Includes pushes into your Google + circles
• LinkedIN connection requests from strangers with no context

Conclusions
• Papers, citations, meeting presentations, grant apps and database entries remain our core business
• However, its wise to be cognisant of the revolution I have outlined in these slides
• Exploiting the individual and team utilities can pay off in real outreach and impacts
• There are no rules or “correct” ways of doing any of this (its anarchy out there)
• There are many creative ways of working the systems
• Notwithstanding, its probably better to be succinct, professional and polite
• Yes, it can waste some time, but then so can many things….
