社交媒体创建了网络化的沟通渠道,促进了互动,并允许信息在专业学术社区以及非正式的社会环境中扩散。科学传播领域的一个重要的当代讨论是科学家如何使用(或可能使用)社交媒体来传播他们的研究。这包括社交媒体在促进科学界内部和相互之间的知识交流方面的作用,以及在促进公众参与的外联方面的作用。这项研究调查了来自不同学科的587名科学家的调查样本,但主要是学术生命科学,使用社交媒体进行内部和外部沟通。我们的结果表明,虽然社交媒体的使用尚未被广泛采用,但各个学科的科学家使用这些平台来交流科学知识,通常通过Twitter、Facebook、LinkedIn或博客。尽管使用频率很低,但我们的工作证明,科学家们认为在工作场所使用社交媒体有许多潜在的优势。我们的数据提供了一个基线,以评估科学院内社交媒体使用的未来趋势。
Social media has created networked communication channels that facilitate interactions and allow information to proliferate within professional academic communities as well as in informal social circumstances. A significant contemporary discussion in the field of science communication is how scientists are using (or might use) social media to communicate their research. This includes the role of social media in facilitating the exchange of knowledge internally within and among scientific communities, as well as externally for outreach to engage the public. This study investigates how a surveyed sample of 587 scientists from a variety of academic disciplines, but predominantly the academic life sciences, use social media to communicate internally and externally. Our results demonstrate that while social media usage has yet to be widely adopted, scientists in a variety of disciplines use these platforms to exchange scientific knowledge, generally via either Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, or blogs. Despite the low frequency of use, our work evidences that scientists perceive numerous potential advantages to using social media in the workplace. Our data provides a baseline from which to assess future trends in social media use within the science academy.
