Teroheiskanen: I think that we can't speak of research methods based on social media or etc. yet because social media isn't so defined concept yet. Social media concept is extremely interesting in researcher's work context. Every researcher has to communicate and co-operate with colleagues and to position his/her thoughts in certain research discourse. In this, social media is revolutional tool or environment. Social media can change that we aren't anymore group of single rivaling researchers but united evolving research community.

2. Miten toteuttaisitte käytännössä tutkimusta sosiaalisen median avustuksella? (How to apply social media in research practices?)

Teroheiskanen: Social media approach is usable at least in idea generation, design, validation, analyze and report phases in research process. In idea generation phase freely innovating collective minds can be higly efficient resource to kill bad ideas and intesify viable ideas. Design phase needs also diverse views to avoid uncreative production. No-one knows everything so in validation there have to be many eyes to point out flaws and lack of validness. Same information can appear different to researcher with different backgrounds, so analyze phase gains of multiple approaches to uncover valuables from the data. In report phase there are usually deadlines to keep, so benefits of co-operation through social media can be so simple as peer support.
