I want to bring to your attention a number of academic websites where my work on F.F. Bosworth is being shared.

These websites are really convenient, especially if you're busy, like most people, and reading on the run. Instead of having to cut and paste a blog post, you can simply download or print the content straight from the page. A simple click will do the trick. The academic websites also include a "Follow" feature that allows you to follow the author, network, and keep up with the the latest postings.

In addition to my blogs, Bosworth Matters, and Roscoe Reporting, my research on Bosworth appears on the following academic websites:

Figshare.com
Visit my profile page here
Figshare has become one of my favorite platforms for sharing, promoting, and preserving my work. The website is described as "a repository where users can make all of their research outputs available in a citable, shareable and discoverable manner."

Perhaps I should note the content on  my Figshare page is not currently organized into separate categories by topic. That, I assure you, will come later.

Academia.edu
See profile page here
This is a popular platform that is used by many historians, students, pastors, and scholars of Pentecostalism.

ResearchGate.net
Review profile page here
Like Academia.edu, this platform is widely used by historians and other scholars engaged in serious research.

SSRN.com
Visit my Author's Page here
This page, for various reasons, has only a few of my articles on F.F. Bosworth. Even so, it is still worth a quick visit.

All four of the above platforms are clean and user friendly. Their pages are uncluttered and easy to follow. You can read the posted content online, or you can simply download the material. Registration is not required for reading or for downloads.

I should also mention that links to some of my research and commentary on Bosworth are shared on Google Scholar and ORCID.

Note: If you are a writer, minister, blogger, or researcher, then I encourage you to open your own account with one or more of these academic platforms. Start sharing and preserving your own content. These platforms enable you to create a digital footprint and enhance your online presence. Even more, they allow you to develop an online repository -- an easy and accessible paper trail -- of your own work. Another benefit is that we get to follow each other in the digital world of research and Pentecostal church history.
