Developing and Boosting Your Online Scholarly Identity and Impact, Finding the Best Publication Venue for Your Works, Understanding and Using Research Impact Metrics and Alternative Metrics to Evaluate Public Engagement with Your Research
This course contains several modules with information and instructions on creating and maintaining scholarly profiles: ORCID, Scopus Author Profile, Elements, Virginia Tech Experts, SciENcv, Google Scholar Profile, Sage Policy Profile, and Web of Science Profile. Although you may have experience using 1 or more of the profile systems, we recommend completing all of the modules and working through them in order. For some modules, you may be able to skim through the content and complete the associated assignment quickly if you have already been using the associated profile system.
