“…Our study would help us understand whether ResearchGate was competing with our IR for faculty-authored content. It would also provide insights that could lead to improvements in our implementation of the OA Policy and greater success in recruiting faculty content.We chose to compare the faculty's OA Policy compliance with their participation in ResearchGate specifically-rather than Academia.edu or other sites-primarily because ResearchGate has been shown to be the most popular academic social network among scholars Campos-Freire & Rúas-Araújo, 2016;Elsayed, 2015;Jamali, Nicholas, & Herman, 2016;Matthews, 2016; MeisharTal & Pieterse, 2017;Mikki, Zygmuntowska, Gjesdal, & Al Ruwehy, 2015;Ortega, 2015;Singh, 2016;Tran & Lyon, 2017;Van Noorden, 2014). …”

Use of ResearchGate is notably higher than that of Academia.edu among senior researchers Matthews, 2016;Mikki et al, 2015).The ability to upload and share the full-text of publications is a feature valued by users of ResearchGate and similar academic social networks (Campos-Freire & Rúas-Araújo, 2016;Corvello, Genovese, & Verteramo, 2014;Elsayed, 2015;Laakso et al, 2017;Marra, 2015;Matthews, 2016;Nicholas et al, 2015;Tenopir et al, 2016;Van Noorden, 2014;Wu, Stvilia, & Lee, 2016).

INTRODUCTIONThe popularity of academic social networks like ResearchGate and Academia.edu indicates that scholars want to share their work, yet for universities with open access (OA) policies, these sites may be competing with institutional repositories (IRs) for content. This article seeks to reveal researcher practices, attitudes, and motivations around uploading their work to ResearchGate and complying with an institutional OA Policy through a study of faculty at the University of Rhode Island (URI). METHODS We conducted a population study to examine the participation by 558 full-time URI faculty members in the OA Policy and ResearchGate followed by a survey of 728 full-time URI faculty members about their participation in the two services. DISCUSSION The majority of URI faculty do not participate in the OA Policy or use ResearchGate. Authors' primary motivations for participation are sharing their work more broadly and increasing its visibility and impact. Faculty who participate in ResearchGate are more likely to participate in the OA Policy, and vice versa. The fact that the OA Policy targets the author manuscript and not the final published article constitutes a significant barrier to participation. CONCLUSION Librarians should not view academic social networks as a threat to open access. Authors' strong preference for sharing the final, published version of their articles provides support for calls to hasten the transition to a Gold OA publishing system. Misunderstandings about the OA Policy and copyright indicate a need for librarians to conduct greater education and outreach to authors about options for legally sharing articles.

Throughout the survey, faculty reported a strong aversion to sharing the author manuscript version of their articles. This was the most significant barrier to participating in the OA Policy. This finding, if generalizable, should inform current discussions among OA advocates about the respective roles going forward of Green OA achieved through depositing author manuscripts in institutional repositories and Gold OA achieved at the point of publication. RESEARCH3. Our survey revealed a range of misunderstandings about the IR, OA policies, and copyright. For example, many respondents believe that the legality of posting one's articles in both the IR and ResearchGate depends on publisher policy and the version of the article posted. In fact, permissions-based OA policies make it legal to post author manuscripts in the IR regardless of publisher policies, and many subscriptionaccess journals prohibit depositing any version of an article to commercial sites like ResearchGate. These misunderstandings indicate a need for librarians to conduct greater education and outreach to faculty around their options for legally sharing published articles.

Hipótesis y objetivos. Partimos de la hipótesis de que existe una baja participación de los hospitales en los medios sociales, a pesar del interés de los usuarios. El objetivo principal es definir las características y la estrategia para proponer ideas para optimizar la relación entre hospitales y ciudadanos a través de las redes sociales. Metodología. La metodología empleada se basa, fundamentalmente, en el análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo de la actividad en Twitter de aquellos centros sanitarios especializados con mayor interacción. Resultados. Se observa el interés de los pacientes por la información y la actividad que los centros sanitarios comparten en las redes sociales, cuyos mensajes se pueden clasificar en: de ámbito no sanitario o relacionados con cuestiones extrínsecas a la actividad asistencial también suscitan un destacado interés, seguidos por aquellos sobre promoción y prevención sanitaria y de reconocimiento a protagonistas de alguna intervención en el entorno hospitalario. En la misma línea, se puede afirmar que se usa, en general, un tono cercano. Conclusiones. A partir de este trabajo, se proponen algunas estrategias encaminadas a mejorar la comunicación entre el hospital y sus diferentes stakeholders y, por ende, situaciones que rodean a los usuarios de los sistemas sanitarios, centradas en la relación entre atención sanitaria y el bienestar de la ciudadanía.[EN] Introduction. The object of study for this article is online communication in Spanish hospital corporations, specifically in those centres that are more influential on Twitter. Hypothesis and objectives. We will be working with the hypothesis that hospitals demonstrate a low level of participation in social media, despite the interest shown by users. The main objective is to define the characteristics and the strategy in order to propose ideas to optimise the relationship between hospitals and citizens, by means of social networks. Methodology. The methodology followed is based, fundamentally, on a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the activity on Twitter of the specialised health centres with a greater interaction. Results. Patients demonstrated an interest in the information and the activity that health centres share on their social networks, and these messages can be classified as: non-health related, or related to matters extrinsic to healthcare that also arouse considerable interest, followed by messages about prevention and health promotion, and recognition of the people that play an important role in certain hospital proceedings. Along these lines, we can state that, in general, an intimate tone is adopted. Conclusions. This study serves as a base from which to propose several strategies aimed at improving communication between the hospital and its various stakeholders and, therefore, situations that surround the users of healthcare systems; situations that are focussed on the relationship between medical attention and citizen wellbeing.

Along these lines, we can state that, in general, an intimate tone is adopted. Conclusions. This study serves as a base from which to propose several strategies aimed at improving communication between the hospital and its various stakeholders and, therefore, situations that surround the users of healthcare systems; situations that are focussed on the relationship between medical attention and citizen wellbeing. KeywordsHealthcare Communication; social networks; hospitals; health. Introduction and theoretical frameworkResearch activity in the field of health is becoming more and more intense and diverse. "Information about health in contemporary society is included in social policies and (...) can provide important benefits to the wellbeing of a society" (Peñafiel & Echegaray, 2014, p. 6).Similarly, there is a varied body of literature about institutional social networks in different professional fields (Gómez & Paniagua, 2014;Huertas & Mariné, 2014;Palomo, 2014; Campos Freire, Rivera Rogel & Rodríguez Hidalgo, 2014;Campos Freire & Ruas Araujo, 2016).Nonetheless, when it comes to healthcare institutions, in particular hospitals, the object of study for this article, and their communicative activity via social networks, scientific publications are far from copious.A study by Rando (2014) of hospitals in Andalusia, both publicly and privately funded, emphasises a lack of coherence between the objectives approved by hospital directors once the transmission of messages via social networks to the various stakeholders had been decided on and started, and the results obtained with this communicative activity.There is clearly a gap between a hospital"s reasons for participating in a social network (Rando, 2014): to invite dialogue, interaction or participation by society in the virtual space; to learn about citizens" healthcare needs; to put itself on the map and strengt...
