Brian Kelly of the Innovation Support Centre at UKOLN, University of Bath, UK will be giving a series of presentations across the UK on how social media can be used to enhance the visibility of research papers hosted in institutional repositories.

The week begins with an hour-long talk on "Open Practices for the Connected Researcher" which will take place on Tuesday 23 October…

How I engage with open acess:

• I deposit my peer-reviewed papers in the University of Bath institutional repository, the vast majority of which contain full text.
• I make the slides for my presentations available on Slideshare, with a Creative Commons licence.
• I permit others to record and stream my talks at many conferences…
