Disseminate: The Computer Science Research Podcast

Marvin Wyrich & Justus Bogner | How Software Engineering Research Is Discussed on LinkedIn | #56


Listen Later

In this episode, we delve into the intersection of software engineering (SE) research and professional practice with experts Marvin Wyrich and Justus Bogner. As LinkedIn stands as the largest professional network globally, it serves as a critical platform for bridging the gap between SE researchers and practitioners. Marvin and Justus explore the dynamics of how research findings are shared and discussed on LinkedIn, providing both quantitative and qualitative insights into the effectiveness of these interactions. They reveal that a significant portion of SE research posts on LinkedIn are authored by individuals outside the original research team and that a majority of comments on these posts come from industry professionals, highlighting a vibrant but underutilized avenue for science communication.


Our guests shed light on the current state of this metaphorical bridge, emphasizing the potential for LinkedIn to enhance collaboration and knowledge exchange between academia and industry. Despite the promising engagement from practitioners, the discussion reveals that only half of the SE research posts receive any comments, indicating room for improvement in fostering more interactive dialogues. Marvin and Justus offer practical advice for researchers to better engage with practitioners on LinkedIn and suggest strategies for making research dissemination more impactful. This episode provides valuable insights for anyone interested in leveraging social media for advancing software engineering knowledge and practice.
