The Digital Scholar• Impacts for digital scholarship include the

quantity of peer-reviewed online information sources, the growth of social, peer academic networks, and the variety and range of content to draw upon for research that has broadened to include drafts of publications, conference presentations, blog posts, video and audio (Weller, 2011).

always be the true story. (Latour, 1986)• Challenge with assessing scientific

performance at the individual level (Vieira & Gomes, 2011)

The Social (Media) Scholar

Beyond these specific scholarly platforms, we have seen an increase in social networking use, academic blogging or microblogging (e.g. Twitter), and online sharing of images, videos, and audio for both data and research distribution.

“Academics should utilize these emerging platforms to increase their influence and reach beyond traditional publishing forums. These researcher identification and citation tools are not “just for geeks,” but rather a growing expectation for scholarship development and publication notation. It is a critical time to rethink how research is produced, distributed, and acknowledged.”

(Pasquini, Wakefield, Reed & Allen, 2014)
