[GOAL] BLOG: What is 'research impact' in an interconnected world?

[Danny Kingsley]

Hello all,

You may be interested in the latest Unlocking Research blog - 'What is 
research impact in an interconnected world?' - 
https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=252 This is the basis 
for a talk I am giving to the Cambridge University Alumni Festival on 
Saturday 26th September 
https://www.alumni.cam.ac.uk/events/alumni-festival-2015/what-is-research-impact-in-an-interconnected-world

The main gist:

  * Publishing a paper is the beginning not the end.
  * Making work open access does not mean it is accessible.
  * Writing in plain language is translating, not dumbing it down.
  * Sharing work involves peer networks and publishing platforms
  * If you don't take control of your online presence someone/something
    else will

Other recent blogs include:

  * It's time for open access to leave the fringe
    <https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=238> -- 27 August 2015
  * Data sharing -- Build it and they will come
    <https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=221> -- 24 August 2015

Enjoy!

Danny
