Abstract

We define social media as:

Websites which build on Web 2.0 technologies to provide space for in-depth social interaction, community formation, and the tackling of collaborative projects.-----

In this report we do not aim to make an argument for why social media elements should be incorporated into the online operations of non-profit and commercial organisations; while there are many benefits to working with social media communities, the decision to do so must be made on a case-by-case basis by considering the specific needs of the organisation and its online presence. It is not the aim of this report to discuss at great length the reasons why such choices have been made, but to offer insights into how the benefits of social media can be maximised. So, for organisations which do choose to incorporate social media elements into their online presence, this report provides material to inform that choice and guide the structural decisions which follow from it. We highlight the importance of understanding both the social and technological aspects of social media, and of addressing them in developing and managing social media Websites.

Impact and interest:

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
