<p class="MsoNormal">Just sending a quick announcement of CDQ’s new Online First article, “<a href="http://sigdoc.acm.org/social-media-in-professional-technical-and-scientific-communication-programs-a-heuristic-to-guide-future-use/">Social Media in Professional,
Technical, and Scientific Communication Programs: A Heuristic to Guide Future Use</a>.”
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this article, Jennifer Roth Miller, Brandy Dieterle, Jennifer deWinter, and Stephanie Vie report on the results of a research study supported by a CPTSC research grant that analyzed programmatic use of social media in professional, technical,
and scientific communication programs (TPCs). This mixed-methods study included a survey of TPC program administrators (n = 29), an inventory of TPCs’ social media account use (n = 70), and an inventory of TPCs’ course offerings that included social media
(n = 27). Results showed that programmatic use of social media requires strategic consideration, particularly in order to generate two-way communication, a goal of many of the TPCs studied. To that end, their article generates questions and guiding suggestions
(drawn from their three-part study) to guide administrators who wish to include social media in their TPC.<o:p></o:p></p>
