Professor of IP Law among the best in social media
The Mike Young Academy has listed the top 100 researchers in Sweden based on their visibility in social media in 2022. At #4, we find Eleonora Rosati, Professor of Intellectual Property Law at Stockholm University.
Social media is growing as a channel for research communication and has become a very important part of the shift towards open science. Used properly, channels such as Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook can enhance a researcher's profile in scientific contexts. They can generate new collaborations, spark new ideas and be a way to reach out to the wider public - beyond the dedicated audience of their own subject.
The social web allows research results to be communicated and increases a researcher's opportunities to participate in discussions and debates. One person who knows how to take advantage of this is Eleonora Rosati, Professor of Intellectual Property Law at Stockholm University, who was recently ranked as the 4th most active researcher in Sweden on social media. We asked her a few questions about it:
Eleonora, how do you use the social web?
- Professionally my to-go social media are LinkedIn and Twitter. In my view, they are fundamental to be alerted about relevant developments in my field and to engage with my reference professional community: IP researchers, private practice and in-house lawyers, students, public affairs professionals, and institutional accounts. There I share relevant IP commentaries and exchange views on them.
What would you say that you get out of it?
- A sense of community and an appreciation of how diverse the various IP views and positions are.
Do you see any problems with using social media as a researcher?
- I have been blogging on IP for over 10 years, so my answer would be no. I think that a social media presence has been helping me refine my thinking about IP issues and appreciate different perspectives. It has also allowed me to receive feedback on my work more quickly than what the case would be through a traditional scholarly publication.
