Open and digital academics: Twitter hashtags to watch or use

A recently released RCUK funded report on public engagement with research, based on a project designed to create the conditions where public engagement with research could flourish identifies challenges and solutions, and the keywords “open” and “digital” are clearly significant. Building on last week’s list of general hashtags for academia, here are some hashtags on Twitter that you could use to learn about what others are doing in making their research both open and digital, or indeed tell others about your work. Each of these lists begins with hashtags that are more specific to the research world, and moves on to more general hashtags for the theme.

Digital:

1. #digitalacademic
2. #digitalhumanities
3. #digitalhealth
4. #digitalscholar
5. #digitalage
6. #socialmedia
7. #digital
8. #digitaltransformation
9. #digitalera

Open:

1. #openscience
2. #openaccess
3. #opendata
4. #openscholar
5. #openweb
6. #opensource
