Research @ UTS:Library

Presentation on using social media in health and research.

Not all of those mentioned on this list are that "new". Those I think that would be most useful to researchers: For metrics/statistics - Argyle, TwentyFeet.com & PostRank For content management - Trunk.ly & Storify & for Twitter hashtag tracking - HashTracking

Blog post about the use of #phdchat for post-grad researchers. Many links to other useful introductory posts.

ScienceStage is a global, science-oriented multimedia portal that specializes in online video streaming, which is used to support communication between scientists, scholars, researchers in industry, and professionals. It is also used by academics and students as a virtual educational tool. Video content ranges from conference recordings, to interviews, documentaries, webinars, and tutorials. ScienceStage, as its slogan suggests, also functions as a 'hub' by creating a meta-layer that enables the networking of both users (individuals and groups) and content (video, audio, and documents), which forms an integrated multimedia and social networking platform for scientists.

Science-focussed community with features like forums, Q&A, groups, etc. Includes a PhD students' forum. Community, collaboration, exploration/search.

Labmeeting's mission is to help researchers work more efficiently. It offers researchers a web service to organize, collect, and share scientific papers.
