Leadership Lab | Research in a Digital Age: Video or Vanish?

Are you interested in making your research available to a wider audience using digital resources? Have you considered the possible benefits of using social media to develop a professional portfolio online? The use of online resources for academic and professional research purposes is a growing yet largely underdeveloped and oftentimes ambiguous field. This workshop discusses different avenues for disseminating your research beyond the traditional route of journal or manuscript publication, why development of these skills is becoming more important in a competitive job market, and pitfalls to avoid.

Specifically, this workshop makes the case for video abstracts and how adding a social component to disseminating research can improve your chances on the academic job market, increase citations, and help you find new collaborators.
