Students and researchers of English Linguistics from the Chemnitz University of Technology and the University of Zaragoza have created a collection of example Twitter/X posts and press releases with comments on their language. The texts and the description of their linguistic strategies are meant to help researchers write their own texts. Still, different contexts, audiences, and personal writing styles will likely require different formulations. While there is no one-size-fits-all solution for writing effective X posts and press releases, the collection provides some useful guidelines for science communication.

Examples of X posts and press releases with different overall communicative purposes are offered:
• X posts to announce and promote a new publication of a member of a research project
• X posts establishing networks by providing information on a specific academic event
• X posts announcing and describing an event
• X posts in individual accounts announcing research undertaken or published
• Press release to announce and promote a new publication
• Press release to report on an academic event and promote its results
