The infographic below, produced by labroots, summarizes changes in the way researchers and journalists have publicized scientific research over time, from traditional print channels to the social networks and electronic outlets we rely on constantly today.

Some of AJNR‘s recent efforts have been implemented in service of prompting more neuroradiologists to interact with these new information streams. Our Social Media Vignettes, we hope, will prove useful guides for curious scientists who may not know where to start with so many networks available, or who may want to know what exactly social media can do to help them keep up with research and publicize their own. We have also started allowing contributors to submit their Twitter handles as part of their corresponding author information blocks. And, of course, you can follow AJNR on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, or LinkedIn for the latest neuroradiology research and online case products.

As potential outlets multiply, so do the opportunities to make your work known as a scientist, and sharing work has never been more important amid an ever-increasing deluge of new studies, controversies, and discoveries.
