Managing Your Scholarly Identity Online (Enriching Scholarship 2019)

Abstract

This session is an introduction to thinking about one’s presence as a scholar or professional on the web. Participants will be walked through several foundational tasks, including registering an ORCID, claiming a Google Scholar profile, reflecting on social media choices, and updating (or planning updates) to their university web page. Participants will leave the session with a few basic elements of an online scholarly presence in place that they can return to and continue to explore at their leisure. Intended for beginners who have not yet done the activities described above.

The session will complement Enriching Scholarship sessions “Take Control of Your Scholarly Identity with Deep Blue” and “Visualize public engagement with scholarly research using Altmetric Explorer”. This session is part of the Public Engagement theme during Enriching Scholarship 2019: a series of workshops and discussions intentionally and collaboratively crafted by units all over campus to foster engaged learning and scholarship in service of public impact.
