ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on disseminating the findings from studies that use literature review methodology enables others to understand what the current best evidence on a subject is. Publishing the findings from a literature review in a journal or presenting them at a conference are two options for sharing the knowledge that you have gained as a result of conducting your study. Using online social media is becoming an increasingly important way of sharing the findings from studies. Using electronic social media is becoming a valuable way of disseminating new knowledge.

Disseminating information electronically is a very prompt way of sharing the outcomes of studies with a potentially wide audience. The two traditional ways of sharing findings from studies have been publication and conference presentations.
