Forum discussing the @ACCE_DTP activities and community. I’d suggest write about (ACCE) published research on the blog: registering blog with @altmetric: use an ACCE tag on Twitter (#ACCEpapers?): use social media to drive viewers to static web/blog content #acceshef18

If you are doing a lot of social media, especially Twitter, or running an event your covering with social media, look at desktop/laptop apps such as Tweetdeck and Hootsuite, to organise and schedule content.

#Infographics are a great way of summarising lots of content and leaves your tweet/post to add additional detail/commentary or summary
#ACCEShef18 #TheTweetingBird #scicomm #sciencetwitter #scitwitter #academictwitter.
There is plenty of online resources to tap into. Just look for what you want to do.
@IBIS_journal resources can be found at https://www.bou.org.uk/social-media/

Remember to tweet/post about events (using an event hashtag on Twitter) before, during and after an event.
Promote beforehand, report from during and refer back to afterwards.

I add credits to the image itself. This way, when someone copies the image (as they often do) the credit stays with the image
#ACCEShef18 #TheTweetingBird #scicomm #sciencetwitter #scitwitter #academictwitter
An example of the different formats: if I used the image I prepared for Twitter on Instagram, the sides, along with key branding, would be lost. So I created a new version just for IG

Different platforms use different formats for their photos - so learn them to maximise your tweets and posts. Search online for details for the platforms you use
#ACCEShef18 #TheTweetingBird #scicomm #sciencetwitter #scitwitter #academictwitter
Use the right image format! Twitter uses landscape 2:1. If you don’t you can end up cutting off your subject’s head and feet!

The new feature ‘Twitter threads’ is great for presentations (like this one) as it links (threads) all your tweets (up to 25) in to one continuous story

#ACCEShef18 #TheTweetingBird #scicomm #sciencetwitter #scitwitter...
Avoid poor structuring (e.g. adding tags, handles and URL as one block at end of the text) use these throughout the text. Also, now Twitter has more characters you can break tags and handles up so they stand out.
#ACCEShef18 #TheTweetingBird #scicomm #sciencetwitter
Take time to carefully craft your tweets using #tags and @handles and good images (with permission if not your own or available for public use)

My Twitter profile gets way more views than any of my other online profiles
#ACCEShef18 #TheTweetingBird #scicomm #sciencetwitter #scitwitter #academictwitter
Use the #pinnedtweet feature! You can change this as often as you like so it can always promote your latest research, paper or project
#ACCEShef18 #TheTweetingBird #scicomm #sciencetwitter #scitwitter #academictwitter
Use #tags and @handles to link your profile to key items and which will show up on searches.
#ACCEShef18 #TheTweetingBird #scicomm #sciencetwitter #scitwitter #academictwitter
Make sure your profile represents you/your research. Use a good head and shoulders image people will recognise you from, and an interesting header image.

Understand what you want from social media, and what your community needs are. Twitter is the most dynamic, but Facebook has greater take-up, especially in Asia, South America and Africa.
#ACCEShef18 #TheTweetingBird #scicomm #sciencetwitter #scitwitter #academictwitter
@Richvn (in his 2014 @nature paper) showed how dynamic Twitter was compared to other platforms, which are largely passive

In #ornithology Twitter is the platform of choice. We’ve tracked its rise and reach using the #ornithology tag since 2012. By the end of 2017, thousands of accounts engaged with the tag with a reach of over 1 million.

Great advice from @dfgillie discussing ‘career’ from childhood, through PhD and beyond. There is such a thing as ‘luck’. Knowing it and knowing what to do with it are important. Be confident. Use feedback. Network. Use your skills to analyse jobs and what you want. #acceshef18
#ornithology from @sheffielduni well represented at their home #acceshef18 inc these two excellent posters from Francesca Dawson Pell on #nonnative #parrots and @lucyannewinder on how clutch size effects parental survival in birds
