Abstract |
|
|
| The presence of scientists and researchers has become increasing on social networking sites. The presence of
scientists and researchers has been increasing in social networking sites. The Internet is a tool for access to information, a
tool for sharing, monitoring and sharing with others, thanks to the great capabilities and the widespread use of these
networks to extend to the field of education and scientific knowledge.
Today, many scientific research centers use social networks to disseminate their research and achievements to a wider
audience. It is also used to develop the learning process through a participatory approach between researchers and science
students in building scientific knowledge and re-arousing interest in receiving knowledge. Thus, social networks will serve
as virtual environments for the dissemination of scientific culture for wide use, which has been limited to the narrow
scientific community.
This environment is meant to interact with science-related topics so that the achievements of science can be understood by
the wider public. this leads to what we can call "citizen science" - a process that will make knowledge of science an
essential component of citizenship in its new dimensions.
