Abstract
A personal academic website is a space on the World Wide Web through which a scholar proactively communicates her/his activities in research, education and societal service to the public. Is having such website worth the effort? Does a personal website provide real benefits to the scholarly activities of a researcher and educator? And, if yes, why and how? Referring to selected examples, this study shows how a personal academic website can serve the overall purpose of scholarly work, independently of the disciplinary field.
