Visibility Means Discoverability
• Q: Does a Social Profile as a scientist matter?
• You are visible, when you share your skills, experience and research activities by:• Establishing a public profile• Getting on the record• Collaborative Science• Demonstrating a skill set• Measured using “alternative metrics”• Contributing to the public peer review process• There are many ways to become “visible”
![Page 7: The potential benefits of making yourself visible online as a scientist](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110113/541006988d7f727c0c8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
My entry into social media
• I was NOT a follower into the world of social media
• I am actually this guy…
• But challenge me and I get a “little vocal”
![Page 8: The potential benefits of making yourself visible online as a scientist](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110113/541006988d7f727c0c8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Learning about blogging the hard way
• ChemSpider was a “hobby project”
• Housed in a basement and running off three servers – one bought, two built
• Sensitive to weather and power stability
• Went live at ACS Spring 2007 in Chicago

Your Profile as a Scientist
• If you are an active scientist – i.e. already published, active researcher, generator of data, early, mid- or late career there is lots to do!
• If you are a junior scientist the benefits of investing time now will provide a strong foundation for your future!
• So what do I do??
![Page 15: The potential benefits of making yourself visible online as a scientist](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110113/541006988d7f727c0c8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Maybe you should be a brand?
• If you are going forth into the social network adopt a “brand name” throughout the network
• Search Google for your “brand name”
• Choose a unique brand or be yourself• BRAND: Collabchem, ChemConnector• YOURSELF: egonwillighagen, joergwegner

Are you a-tweeting on Twitter?
• 140 characters to connect and communicate
• Use your “brand name” on Twitter – it has high frequency here…
• Greatest value for me – bite-sized nuggets into information of interest and leading people into information I wish to share including my posts, my activities
• Faster responses than email commonly!

Are you LinkedIn? You should be
• LinkedIn for “professionals”
• Expose work history, skills, your professional interests, your memberships – your profile WILL be watched!
• Who you are linked to says a lot about who you are. Get Linked to people in your domain.
• Professional relationships rather than just friendships. FaceBook-it for friends

Social Networking for Scientists
• The representation of YOU on the web is going to become increasingly important…
• Engagement and participation is a choice…
• Consider the value to both you and to your community regarding contribution• Open Data, Curations, Annotations etc.
![Page 61: The potential benefits of making yourself visible online as a scientist](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110113/541006988d7f727c0c8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
My experiences in social media
• I was able to communicate AND demonstrate my skills, expertise, passion, drive and intention by blogging and sharing
• I have “connected” with some incredibly collaborative people
• Like-mindedness “out there” is a great feeling• I blog far less today than I used to…time
commitment can be very large• “Twitter makes no sense”…until I did it• LinkedIn is THE professional networking tool
![Page 62: The potential benefits of making yourself visible online as a scientist](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110113/541006988d7f727c0c8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
My views of the future
• “Altmetrics” is going to be big
• Scientists, and especially young scientists, can “get in early” and build reputation
• It takes effort driven by participation…
