Research is social and iterative

If I have seen farther than others, it is because I stood on the shoulders of giants. Isaac Newton

Research processes
Writing Attending seminars Giving conference papers Publishing Reading others publications Writing reviews Teaching

are social and communicative processes which are reliant on networks

Issac Newton seeing farther than others, because he is standing on shoulders of giants. Edmund Halley yes but you also stood side by side with some of us. Richard Bentley and we corresponded about your work when I lectured on Newtonian physics.

Why do researchers use social media?

I think social media made me a better researcher because I find stuff out a lot quicker. I now have a network of individuals I respect and am confident in their work. The network discovers and filters and discusses. I have connected my research to the real world in a way that would not have been so easy before and maybe not possible. For curriculum development and teaching this has connected with real issues that interest and engage students and has helped them become student researchers in their own right with a broader and more critical take on issues. Terry Wassall (Principal Teaching Fellow, Sociology)

Reciprocity
a state or relationship in which there is mutual action, influence, giving and taking, correspondence, etc., between two parties or things OED

Networks for iteration and feedback in doctoral work

We write our ideas into being. They only come to life and reveal their glory and their weakness. Rewriting is the essence of good writing. Feedback can motivate and direct our rewriting.
