It is necessary to know that these are possible answers to "Why scholars use social media".

1) "In case contacted" presumably means "In case someone contacts me", but to me this seems illogical. If you don't use social media (i.e. don't have an account) then no one can contact you (by that method). "So that people can contact me" would make more sense.

2) "metrics" are numerical measurements or statistics relating to some activity or process, etc. It does not seem to explain which metrics this refers to. It may mean metrics related to your use of social media itself (e.g. how many people have read your messages). If so, this again seems illogical to me. If you didn't use social media then there would be no metrics to track.
