- Using Social Media to Increase your Research Impact
Social media can be a very convenient and effective platform for disseminating your research more widely and therefore increasing your research impact. NTU Libraries has been monitoring the trends in social media and altmetrics. We are helping users to leverage on social media tools and we will be sharing some tips for making your research more open and accessible.

- Game Changers for Researchers: Altmetrics, Big Data, Open Access and Text Mining – What Might They Change?
Scientific researchers face an exciting, and possibly surprising array of new methods to manipulate and manage the impacts of their research. These tools include
- Altmetrics – usage analysis of their research including citations, social media and full-text downloads;
- Big Data - where by the researcher utilizes big data sets to handle complex information;
- Open Access – OA journals offer the opportunity for wider dissemination of researchers’ scientific findings; and
- Text Mining where tailored text “definitions” of research terms may derive more high quality information to enhance the use of the research by others.
With these tools, research will be translated more quickly into tangible results.
