From Academia to Social Media

-I chose one of the authors of an article from this journal. His name is Steve Martin and I was only able to find him on LinkedIn.


-Considering LinkedIn is like the "professional Facebook" pretty much everything on there about him is in a professional aspect. His profile really just includes his title, positions he has held including jobs, and where he earned his education from. Martin earned his degree from Aston University and became a lecturer there for six years until the year 1994. After that he was  university Research Fellow at Warwick Business School for 6 years.


-After that he transitioned to Cardiff University where he worked as the Director for the Center of Local and Regional Government Research. Now he serves as a professor in public policy and is also the director of the Public Policy Institute for Wales at Cardiff University in the United Kingdom.


-Since I was only able to locate this author on a professional network, unfortunately his actual persona didn't really come through, so there was basically no difference between him on social media versus the article he co-published in this journal.
