Description

This measurement project is designed to be able to measure proportions of professional and personal uses of social media of scholars. With social media becoming a prominent tool used by scholars, there are a slew of complications that may arise that accompany the combination of personal and professional use. Understanding the proportions of use may allow us to better understand the degree to which scholars are combining or not combining their personal and professional use and may unpack a deeper understanding of online identity, personal and professional time balance, and a more quantitative understanding of the ways in which scholars use social media.
