The platforms LinkedIn and ResearchGate offer exciting opportunities for scientists to become visible as experts for their further professional path. When it comes to their own presentation on the Internet, the following questions arise for scientists: To what extent can I benefit from LinkedIn and ResearchGate as a scientist for my further career path? Which online platform can support me with my topics and my professional goals? This short workshop provides answers to the following questions:

• How do the platforms LinkedIn and ResearchGate work?
