Bonnie Stewart (@bonstewart) is researching ‘how networked scholars ‘read’ each others’ credibility and influence’.  Click on the image to read Bonnie’s 4,000 word report:Love the sub-headings in Bonnie’s post, eg,  ” “She sure has a following” – Metrics matter, but not that much“; ““A rolling stone gathering moss”- Identity at scale“; ““Status baubles” – The intersection of network influence with academic prestige”, and more.

It is a good read, and the kind of qualitative research that yields useful insights about intersections between emergent practices and traditions.
