Comparing Topics of Scholars' Blog Posts in an Academic Social Networking Site and Publication Keywords

Published:01 August 2020Publication History

ABSTRACT

Academic social networking sites (SNSs) have become one of the important ways for scholars to communicate informally. There are multiple ways in which researchers used SNSs .This poster analyzed and compared scholars' blog topics posted on ScienceNet in relation with their publication keywords. Results suggest that 1): while some use SNS as an idea discussion platform, and others use it as a paper promotion platform. 2) topics of the blogs on SNS span to both personal and professional domains. These findings can provide some preliminary understanding of how researchers use SNSs and allow platforms to automatically divide the types of content published by scholars, and help scholars make better use of academic social platforms for informal academic communication.
