“…The discourse is opened to secondary audiences, including end-users of research (doctors, patients, engineers, artists, etc.) as well as marginalized populations that might not have extensive access to all publications in which academic discourse plays out (Davies and Delamothe, 2005;Faulkes, 2014). Further, open reviews and discourse give researchers "much needed qualitative evidence for their promotion and tenure narratives" (Odell and Pollock, 2016: n.p.).…”

“…Further, there is some evidence that digital publication, distribution, and peer-to-peer discourse may enable a wider diversity in that discourse and greater participation by marginalized voices, in an extension of social media's ability to lower barriers to participation (ibid. ; Faulkes, 2014). Zen Faulkes also notes that post-publication review and discourse may result in greater attention to the text and therefore more citations and influence for the contributing authors (2014).…”

Discourse or gimmick? Digital marginalia in online scholarship

Marginalia has been studied as discourse, as historical documentation and as evidence of reader response. As many academic texts are now available electronically, it seems a natural step to incorporate the interactive, social functions of the Web 2.0. Digital marginalia in an academic publishing context has been a largely unsuccessful venture to this date, yet there are several promising developments. Tools have emerged that enable readers annotate online texts in an approximation of paper-based marginalia, with the additional affordances of two- (or many-) way discourse, digital archiving, and the ability to hide the annotations. This article reviews the contemporary practices of digital marginalia, narrowing in to focus on digital marginalia as a form of academic discourse and peer review. I analyse several case studies of digital marginalia and discourse within this context, including Nature’s trial of open peer review, Wellcome Open Research, PLOS ONE and PubPeer’s systems, as well as my own experience using open peer review with Hypothes.is in a special ‘disrupted’ issue of the Journal of Media Practice. The article examines the relative success of these initiatives, attitudes toward open peer review and concludes with some promising developments for the future of digital marginalia and discourse in academic publishing.

Social media, Twitter in particular, has emerged as an essential tool for surgeons. In the realm of academic surgery, it enables surgeons to advance the core values of academic surgery, as outlined by the Association for Academic Surgery: inclusion, leadership, innovation, scholarship, and mentorship. This article details the ways in which surgeons are using Twitter to embody these values and how the Twitter account for the Association of Academic Surgeons accomplishes its goal of inspiring and developing young academic surgeons.

“…Social media contributes to your research in many ways and it can be worth your time, if you invest it well. In the words of Faulkes (2014), "Social media is just the biggest research conference in the world." It's worth your time to be there.…”
