Abstract: academic dissemination and communication play a great role in promoting scientific progress. Traditionally, most researchers disseminated their work through journal articles, books, and conference presentations. With the development of the Web 2.0, the emergence of social websites, such as Facebook, Twitter, Wechat, provides an alternative way to help researchers presenting their current work, opening views, personal skills, and expertise; meanwhile, followers can get the updated information by following their interested researchers. Although social websites were not very popular among researchers, researchers using social media could obtain several benefits, especially for the ability to communicate quickly.
