Almost 55% of survey respondents reported that DMAC led to significant networking
opportunities including co-authorship, publication and editorial contacts,
hiring and recruitment connections, administrative collaboration, and long term scholarly
dialogue. Almost 20% of survey respondents reported
light networking such as conference meet-ups, social media communication, and occasional
social dialogue. About 15% of respondents reported no networking results,
but three fourths of those respondents qualified their feedback with mitigating circumstances
(e.g., no longer in the academy, personal aversion to
networking).
