Managing Your Scholarly Identity
Wed 10/28 • 1PM - 2PM PDT RSVP

Taking control of your scholarly identity supports your visibility, credibility and transparency as a researcher and plays a crucial role in open scholarly communication. This workshop will cover the importance and impact of creating and managing your scholarly identity with tools like ORCID and Google Scholar, as well as how these tools connect with other network and profile platform. You will also also learn how to select repositories for hosting your scholarly outputs, such as research articles, datasets, working papers and more.
