Academic Social Networking Sites:A Potential Tool for LIS Scholars
Subscribe/Renew Journal
The last decade has seen the emergence of "academic social networking sites" (ASNS), each offering its own suite of tools to support a range of research activities (Bullinger et al., 2010). Jordan (2014) defines them as websites aimed explicitly at the academic community which allow users to create a profile and make connections with others. Popular examples include, but are not limited to, ResearchGate, Academia.edu, and Mendeley.
