Etiquette
- Be cognizant of your involvement with ELIXIR. Express your own opinions, but be sure that your tweets are not interpreted as you speaking on behalf of ELIXIR.
- Don’t share any ELIXIR internal documents or any figures or operational information. If you are not sure, ask at info [at] elixir-europe.org.
- Think twice before you post. Although you can delete tweets you’ve sent, deletion only removes the tweet from your own stream. Tweets that have been retweeted will remain publicly visible. If you post incorrect or misleading information, it’s better to admit the error and post a correction as quickly as possible.
- Credit works of others. When sharing work by someone else, include their names (or Twitter handles) in your posts.
- Always respond to questions addressed to you via Twitter or LinkedIn. If you don’t know how to answer a particular question, feel free to contact us at info [at] elixir-europe.org. If you come across harsh complaints about ELIXIR online, please let us know as well.
