Traditional social media still play a significant role in scholarly
communications, particularly for scholars interested in reaching an
audience outside of their immediate scholarly community.  This looks at the
propensity of scholars to post to LinkedIn & Twitter and is based on data
from a survey of 731 higher education faculty randomly chosen from nearly
500 colleges and universities in the USA. Data is broken out by personal
variables such as work title, gender, personal income level, academic
discipline, age and other variables, as well as institutional indicators
such as college or university type or Carnegie class, enrollment size,
public or private status and others.

Just a few of this 34-page report’s findings are that:

• By academic title, deans and department chair are by far the most
prolific users of Twitter and LinkedIn

• Faculty in engineering and the hard sciences are more enthusiastic users
than those in the arts or humanities.
