PR before Social Media

PR now…
• Twitter - Nature Chemistry
Content – 3rd party
ShareThis - trends
- Email is still a critical part of sharing on the web today, making up 38% of all sharing- Facebook has exploded, growing from ~30% to 39% of all sharing on the web- Other social channels, such as Digg, Reddit, and others, have dropped from ~20% a year ago to 13% today - Twitter was barely registering on our reports a year ago and is now around 8.7% of all our shares

Content – “intramural”
• “Share this” facilities
• UGC: blogs, comments
• Volunteers vs. Editorial input (staff vs community blogs)
• T&Cs: moderation
• Audience: scientist to scientist; scientist to lay person; public vs private spaces.
Nature Peer Review Trial

• Should publishers – the communications experts – move first…
• …or should academia start measuring contributions in new ways?
