Concept

Uncovering the scholarly use of Twitter in the academia results - creating a community of interest

  • Twitter as a means of academic discussion, dissemination of research, and social interaction
  • The informality of the platform as a welcoming community and easily accessible place for academic discourse
  • Allows for the dissemination of others’ works and research as well
  • Useful for finding and building connections with people studying the same field who can then collaborate and support each other in their research
  • Wide variety of audiences allows more people to engage with research
