The Inter-relation between Specific Social Networks for Scientific Communication and General Use Social Networks

Abstract

Currently we are immersed in an era of changes, where the technologies of information and communication are changing all areas of our lives. In the field of science the change is closely linked with social networks, both of general use as well as the specific social networks of the field. If at the beginning they were designed as a teenage trend, now they are becoming a tool that is revolutionizing the way in which scientific results are made public. One of the basic goals of the investigations is to reach a great number of citizens, for this we must interrelate the more science-specific social networks with the general use ones.
