Researcher's Toolkit: Effectively Managing Your Online Scholarly Identity

Researcher's Toolkit: Effectively Managing Your Online Scholarly Identity

What will reviewers, search committees, and colleagues find if they Google you? Will they find profiles that reflect your current work and interests, or neglected LinkedIn and ResearchGate accounts? If you have a common name, will they know which you is you?

Effectively managing your scholarly identity can make you and your work more accessible and insure that you are getting credit for the work you produce. The session will cover a broad array of strategies for refining your scholarly identity, such as registering with ORCiD, joining social networks for scholars like Mendeley and ResearchGate, and updating institutional websites and professional networking profiles. Bring your computer to this working session and begin the process of refining your scholarly presence online.
