‘Thing 6′ of the “Digital Professional” course has introduced Academia.edu – a networking site which I had actually not heard of before, but one which I see has great potential, and will continue to grow as more academics add their profiles and research interests to it.
So far I have only added the basics to my profile: http://warwick.academia.edu/CarolynDawson and a link to this blog – however I will try to update both sites in tandem as and when I have relevant news to add.
Academia.edu is a good site to keep people up-to-date with news regarding publications, conference appearances and presentations – and the ability to link with people via research interests definitely has potential for exploration…..
