Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p> The evolving landscape of research project communication in the digital age is the focus of the present entry. This text highlights the transformation of research into a collaborative, interdisciplinary, and global effort, emphasizing the role of the Internet in fostering teamwork and large‐scale investigations. Against this backdrop, the increasing relevance of visibility, productivity, accountability, digital identity, and networking in contemporary research is underlined. We mainly delve into the digital practices employed by research groups, particularly through project websites and social media. The importance of tailoring communication practices to heterogeneous audiences is highlighted, bridging academic and nonacademic spheres. Project websites are identified as pivotal tools for research groups to disseminate research outcomes, showcasing objectives, partners, and news, as well as to construct a collective identity. Social media, with a specific focus on microblogging platforms such as X/Twitter and Bluesky, are acknowledged as powerful platforms for real‐time updates and interaction with peers and the public, enhancing the impact of research projects. Then, the growing presence of various other social media platforms is underscored, such as YouTube, ResearchGate, <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="http://Academia.edu">Academia.edu</jats:ext-link> , LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Reddit. Our concluding remarks highlight the dynamic nature of digital practices in research communication and anticipate future trends, foregrounding the pervasive role of multimodality, Open Access policies, and the potential influence of artificial intelligence (AI). Overall, the text positions digitally mediated communication as a crucial aspect for research projects, serving the purposes of accountability, visibility, and interaction in an ever‐evolving scholarly landscape. </jats:p>
