Using Social Media to Disseminate your Scholarly Work

Description
When publishing scholarly work in a journal, in general a lot of time and effort is being invested on writing and revising the manuscript until it is being accepted for publication. However, that milestone should not be the end of the endeavor but is in fact just the beginning. From that moment on most authors rely on passive dissemination of the article: researchers who perform a literature search might find the work through library systems. But why should the author not actively promote the work as well? Social media offer a wealth of opportunities to actively increase the visibility of the article, indirectly leading to more academic usage of and more citations to the work.
 
The goal of the workshop is to introduce the participants to the possibilities of social media for disseminating scholarly work, and to practice hands-on with several of these options to promote their own article(s) and themselves as a researcher/author.
