“…[33] Finally, the effective use of social media communication possibilities, for example to organize or to follow a scientific conference or a workshop, often saves time and valued financial resources. Twitter, for example, can be used to communicate the main points of a presentation at a scientific conference, [34] whereas some conferences (and particularly seminars) may be held fully online in social media platforms on LinkedIn, Facebook video, and YouTube platforms with synchronous Q&A [Question and Answer] session open to viewers.…”

Used by nearly 60 % of the world's population, social media are highly interactive websites (“platforms”) today widely used also by researchers. This perspective aims at identifying the main benefits of social media utilization by chemistry scholars with respect to the three main dimensions (research, education and societal service) of scholarly activity. The main risks arising from the use of social media, as we suggest in the conclusions, must be managed and new education on their purposeful utilization should be planned and delivered

“…Качество постов Риск искажения информации при ее распространении третьими лицами всегда присутствует [22]. Эта проблема решается разработкой правил и «этикета соцсетей» [1,[22][23][24], с которыми организаторы знакомят участников перед началом конференции.…”

“…Авторы публикаций отмечают следующие преимущества, объясняющие распространение этого феномена: ■ Посетить все конференции невозможно даже без карантинных ограничений, вводимых в период эпидемий. Невозможно также посетить все интересующие врача доклады на одной конференции, если они проходят одновременно, поэтому краткие сообщения, отражаю щие суть пропущенного доклада, востребованы и вызывают немедленный отклик [1]. ■ Дискуссии, возникаю щие в соцсетях вокруг таких сообщений, делают доступными идеи, инсайты, мнения и опыт коллег [2].…”

Introduction. Medical conferences are a key source of new and relevant knowledge for practicing physicians. Physicians use social media to share this knowledge with their colleagues. As a result, there is a lot of discussion on social media about the topics covered in the scientific presentations. This initiative has some educational value, which is being actively explored. The discussions around such posts make ideas, insights, opinions and experiences of peer-colleagues easily available. They also immediately raise awareness of new clinical research and scientific data.Objective. We studied how often Russian physicians use available social networks (vrachirf.ru, doktornarabote.ru. vk.com) to share information from scientific conferences with their colleagues.Materials and мethods. We searched for posts using keywords related to medical conferences and selected among the search results the entries whose authors, as physicians, disclosed selected elements of the content of scientific presentations.Results. We identified 65 entries over the past 4–12 months where physicians shared facts and ideas presented at scientific conferences. Entries posted on professional physicians’ social networks with access restricted to lay public generated vigorous meaningful discussions, unlike posts on the mainstream social network vk.com.Conclusions. Doctors very rarely share on social media the facts and ideas presented at Russian scientific medical conferences. Physicians demonstrate significant interest in these posts and actively discuss them. Further study should reveal the educational potential of the described phenomenon and suggest the pathways to its effective utilization.

Social media has become an important venue for rheumatologists, patients, organizations, and other stakeholders to discuss recent research advances in diagnosis and management of rheumatic disorders. In this article, we describe the current state of how social media may enhance dissemination, discourse, and collaboration in rheumatology research. Social media may refer to social platforms like Twitter and Instagram or digital media like podcasts and other websites that are operated for providing as free, open-access medical education (FOAM). Twitter has been one of the most active social media venues and continues to host a vibrant rheumatology community. Examples of research discussions on Twitter include organic user tweets, educational threads (“tweetorials”), live-tweeting academic conferences, and journals posting recently-accepted articles. Some research collaborations have been initiated through social media interactions. Social media may also directly contribute to research by facilitating the recruitment of study participants and the collection of survey-based data. Thus, social media is an evolving and important tool to enhance research discourse, dissemination, and collaboration in rheumatology.
