Researchers shouldn’t overlook specialized social network
Websites when looking for academic Open Access sources or employment opportunities:
LabRoots aims to connect not only Science,
Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics researchers, but it also serves as a
social networking site for economists, historians, attorneys and law students, linguists
and literary scholars, philosophers, and social scientists, helping them
collaborate across geographic boundaries and fields of expertise. Users can participate in group topics, posting
questions, reviews, comments, and videos, attend Webinars, follow scientific
news feeds, enter monthly scientific photo and image contests, and find and post
jobs—all the while tracking their activity and the actions of their peers.
The Nature.com Blogs Website provides links for all the bloggers affiliated with the Nature Publishing Group.
As of December 11, 2013, Nature Network became an archival site, although users can still browse forums and groups.

Founded in 1994, the Social Science Research Network encompasses specialized research networks that cover 1,000 different academic subject areas outside of STEM research, including accounting, anthropology, economics, entrepreneurship, finance, humanities, the law, and social sciences, making it the largest repository of Open Access sources in the world. Researchers thus don’t need to attend or teach at universities like Harvard, Yale, or Stanford to know about the latest social science, business, or humanities research.
Of course, lots of researchers think better when listening to music!
