31. It increases your visibility within academia.
It increases your visibility outside academia.
It increases your visibility more than a static
site.
It’s a great way of making connections.
It makes it easier for people to find your
published work.
It’s a great way to promote events and call
for papers.

49. Except for the very end
of this process –
submitting the paper to
the journal for peer-
review – none of this
way of working bears
the least bit of
resemblance to how I
was trained to be a
scholar.

51. It’s a great way to get information you otherwise
wouldn’t
At conferences, Twitter is invaluable for
stimulating discussion and finding out what is
happening in other sessions
For lecturers, Twitter can contribute to discussions
and deepen understanding
The way we translate information is changing

7. Share (on Twitter & LinkedIN) news about something you did or published; an
upcoming event in which you will participate; interesting news and publications in
your field
8. Make writing; data; publication; software available as Open Access

70. Top 10 tips to get started
1. Explore online guides (start with this).
2. Do some “lurking” (look at examples of good practice).
3. Locate pertinent and relevant online sources (e.g. who to follow on
Twitter, interesting bloggers).
4. Start using content aggregation and curation tools (e.g. RSS, Diigo).
5. Identify a few key tools and start with those – know your limits!
6. Develop your network (e.g. LinkedIn, Twitter).
7. Join academic social network sites (e.g. ResearchGate, Mendeley).
8. Create your own website
9. Start blogging and twittering about your research (or whatever else
takes your fancy!).
10. Keep your purpose and audience in mind.

73. Common mistakes: non-strategic communication
Focus on media before message
‘Why’ or ‘what’ questions are left unanswered
CommunicatingEUresearchandinnovationguidanceforprojectparticipants
Better practice: strategic communication
Targets, audience and message clarified before deciding
on the media
Objectives are clearly defined
COMMUNICATING RESEARCH:
SOME GUIDELINES
74. WHEN?
Good windows to communicate arise when…
You have a research breakthrough – be it exceptional or even
controversial
You are about to publish your research outcomes in a major
scientific publication and/or to issue a press release
You have interesting material on your project: images, video,
sound recording
You or your team have been awarded a major scientific prize
You are invited to talk in a major congress/event
Your research is related to current news and triggers media/social
traction
You are featured in the press
75. TO WHOM? The audience
1. Is your audience well defined?
2. Does it include all relevant target groups?
• Can your audience help you reach your objectives?
• Who has an interest in your research?
• Who can contribute to your work?
• Who would be interested in learning about the project's findings?
• Who could or will be affected directly by the outcomes of the research?
• Who are not directly involved, but could have influence elsewhere?
• What about the possibility of audiences at local, regional, national and
European level?
• Is the audience external ?
For each audience, you should work on a distinct strategy using targeted
messages, means and language.
76. WHAT? The message
Why do we need to know? What will change? What solutions are you
offering? What makes the issue urgent? What are the consequences if
no action is taken?
How does your work relate to everyday life? Does it link to any broader
societal issue?
Rather than focusing only on the provision of factual information, is
your project research positioned within a broader socio-economic and
policy context, so that it will be easier to explain the results and their
relevance to policymakers and citizens?
Have you tried to stir your audience's imagination and emotions?
77. The power of storytelling
Tell a story, don’t just list facts
A story is an effective way to make people remember your message.
Why not tell one to disseminate your results?
Which stories work best?
A good story consists of a succession of events with a beginning, a
middle and an end, a scene setter and a plot, a climax and a
conclusion, all of this in a rich context. It is hence more than a list of
results achieved. A good story is one with which others can identify,
with the project content as a basis, and focused on a person (for
example: the researcher). Such stories also allow your message to be
conveyed through shared values that will touch people's hearts and
provoke emotion, and the promise of a better future.
80. HOW? The channels…
The shape of your communication needs to adapt to your
audiences and the channels you will use
While social media are good to reach wide audiences
through punchy content and visuals, a blog will allow you
to explain your research more in depth
A media mix can be very an effective way forward,
allowing you to combine traditional supports, as printed
material, articles and press releases, public talks, with
audio-visual tools, web 2.0 and social media
81. Examples of mass media, one-way
communication
- Newspapers and magazines
- Press releases
- Newsletters
- Manuals
- Brochures, booklets, flyers
- Letters
- Radio
- Television
- Video
- Posters
- Banners
- Website
- Policy briefs
Potentially large audience
Uses the credibility of the mass media
Examples of interpersonal , two-way
communication
- Dialogues, face-to-face conversation
- Group discussions
- Conferences
- Tours
- Round tables
- Exhibitions
- Meetings , Workshops
- Open days
- Telephone calls
- E-mail information service
- Internet debate
Smaller audience, lower costs, more
effort (more effect?!)
Interactive, good for acquiring input
Flexible (easy to change tone, strategy
and content)
