ResearchGate, Google Scholar, etc.

Who is Your Audience?
While many criminologists publish to 'succeed' in academia, their audience also often includes individuals from beyond the academy, such as practitioners or members of the general public. In this podcast I discuss finding your audience.
What is Your Niche?
Twitter, ResearchGate, Google Scholar, and LinkedIn are just some of the platforms where you can share your work, but which platform(s) should you chose for YOUR work? In this podcast I discuss finding your niche.
