Why Historians of Economics Should Tweet
说服经济史学家使用博客和推特,分析其成本与收益,指出社交媒体从数据收集到写作、合作、分享和与公众互动等方面彻底改变了研究过程,并提出了关于研究过程和受众的基本历史编纂学问题。
This paper seeks to convince historians of economics to blog and tweet. It outlines the costs and benefits of doing so, and argues that social media thoroughly alter our research process, from data gathering to writing, collaborating, sharing and hacking, showcasing history and interacting with publics. Doing history of economics for the public and in public thus raises fundamental historiographical questions on research processes and audiences.
