Louise Connelly - Creating an effective online presence for research and impact

• Academic blogging service (Wordpress). This may be useful for websites but I’m not sure what would happen beyond your PhD. If this doesn’t suit, then perhaps regular wordpress or another platform can be used for creating a website. https://www.ed.ac.uk/information-services/learning-technology/blogging I’m happy to discuss websites in a bit more detail if that would be useful to anyone.  I can be contacted louise.connelly@ed.ac.uk
• found this University blog on Search Engine Optimisation that may be useful? https://blogs.ed.ac.uk/website-communications/keyword-research-tools-search-engine-optimisation-seo/ - LinkedIn Learning will probably have loads too https://www.ed.ac.uk/information-services/help-consultancy/is-skills/linkedin-learning
• Google Analytics 4 – launches June/July. You can find out more on LinkedIn Learning – only needed, if you have a website that you want to build analytics into.
• Tweetdeck – scheduling tweets: https://tweetdeck.twitter.com/
• Pixabay.com- great for CC0 copyright free images https://pixabay.com/
• I’m also happy to discuss online research ethics, if anyone is using social media etc for research.
