Digital times: Disseminating your work and networking

Dowling, Sally; Albarran, John

Abstract

This fifth and final article in the Writing for Publication series aims to provide guidance on disseminating your work and increasing professional networks through the use of social media. We will outline a range of different ways in which nurses can write about their research via blogs, and use Twitter to both grow their professional networks, and disseminate their work. Increasingly, health professionals are using social media and online resources to communicate with each other; advantages include connecting with interested others worldwide, and being able to access an audience far beyond that which could be accessed locally or via conferences.
