Tracking scholarly digital footprints
Like many I communicate my scholarly research over multiple platforms in a range of activities that have now become routine for research-active academics. These include, for example:

- maintaining a personal archive of my publications, presentations and research reports – accessible through the publications and presentations tab on this web site
- uploading papers to open access repositories – mine go to the Edinburgh Napier repository, and are also listed with links from the web pages of the Institute for Informatics and Digital Innovation
- uploading videos of conference presentations – see for example the output from the AHRC-funded DREaM project in 2011-12 on the Library and Information Science Research Coalition Vimeo account
- sharing PowerPoint presentations – I maintain a SlideShare account
- blogging about research – here at hazelhall.org, and between 2009-2012 at http://lisresearch.org
- submitting papers to open access journals – I have submitted, for example, to Library and Information Research and Evidence Based Library and Information Practice
- tweeting links to my work – as @hazelh
