This paper examines differences in Chinese and American researchers' uses of social networking sites (SNS). It compares their attitudes and behaviours as determined from data collected in an online survey and a semi-structured focus interview. For various reasons, most international SNS are blocked in China, and we were curious to see how this influences scholarly online communication.
