Websites

Setting up a website around your research topic presents a powerful opportunity for networking.

Websites are good for:

• self promotion, as they allow you to present yourself and your research in the way you choose
• creating a description of your research that can be found by other researchers via a search
• making available resources that you want to make public
• extending the scope of a business card or email by giving someone a way to find out more about you
• creating a semi-permanent repository for your work.

Websites can also:

• take up a lot of your time
• giving you the illusion of an audience that you need to check exists.
