Photos and brief text are allowed

It is possible to include emojis in your posts

Instagram uses Handle  @

Handles are unique user name mainly used to identify a person or a project’s account. 

     They always starts with the @ symbol, followed by a name or phrase to identify the account.

     They are used to send a direct reply to someone, by starting your message with their handle. 

     Useful to link to someone else’s account (known as a ‘mention’) by using their handle elsewhere in your post. This will link your post to the mentioned user’s account.

·         Instagram uses  “stories”

Instagram Stories (or Ig Stories) are  photos and short videos you could insert in your profile, have a limited publication of 24 hours and could be enriched with music, stickers, GIFS and even polls.

 

The project’s consortium should create a or few project hashtags to group conversations related to your topic to boost your research with the right audience. Using a hashtag makes the keyword or phrase in the post searchable. It is like a label that clusters and links similar content, the same way keywords do when scientific papers are published.
