This week, Weller looks as aspects that are critical to many academics – how digital scholarship can be recognised, both within an institution, and externally. He refers to guidelines that other institutions have developed, several of which have been listed by the Center for Digital Research in the Humanities.
He presents the case for using the online to support the traditional, and using it for ‘micro credit’.
How much do you find you use the digital to support the traditional in your research – does it tie in as well as the examples Weller gives?
I’ve just seen http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2017/12/04/academic-journals-with-a-presence-on-twitter-are-more-widely-disseminated-and-receive-a-higher-number-of-citations/ – which is very much looking at the overlaps between twitter and academic journals.
If you’ve not seen it before, you might find the LSE blog site worth your time to browse.
