| Abstract: |
The article discusses how social media is being used by scientists to challenge weak research. Topics include a research on stem cells that was challenged online in social networking sites for scientists like ResearchGate, how beneficial digital discourse is to scientific research and how real-time replication of research is ensuring that social media becomes an important part of research evaluation. Keeping a check on exaggerated science reporting through social media is also discussed. |
