🎉 Launch day! Our book #SocialMediaForResearchImpact is officially out.

Back in the early 2010s, I started sharing research on Twitter. That simple practice made me a "hub" in my network—and led to meeting my co-author Mike Young @mkeyoung.bsky.social through social media itself.

I’ve been circling around this box from @routledgebooks.bsky.social for days. I was nervous about opening it. It was, after all, the end result of a full year of thinking, writing, and rethinking. It is a book about using social media slowly. So I approached it … slowly 🙂

Handing over the first copy of Social Media for Research Impact to the Rector of Eindhoven University of Technology.

A small symbolic step — not about one university, but about opening up research so ideas can travel, connect, and matter.

Denmark's postal service delivered its last letter yesterday, ending 400 years of operation. One of the world's oldest business models is now history.
What can we learn from this transformation? I explore the lessons in my latest post: www.marcelbogers.com/blog/2908161...

If you use social media for research impact, how do you define success? For example, are you most interested in sharing findings with colleagues/the world, attracting readers, discussing work, getting media coverage, securing a TED talk invite or something else? Do you have specific goals?

It was a great pleasure to present our forthcoming book "Social Media for Research Impact: How scholars can share ideas, build networks, and make a difference" (with Mike Young @mkeyoung.bsky.social) during a seminar at FGV EAEAP @fgvoficial.bsky.social in São Paulo, Brazil.

I just published my first blog post. I thought it would be fitting to start by writing about my very first academic publication. What began as a background review turned into a research journey.
