Scholar Profiles and Sharing Your Work

Mike Nason | Scholarly Communications and Publishing Librarian, UNB Libraries (For GEAR, Spring 2020)

A little context.

The whole point of scholarship is for, at least, some people to see your work and for your work to make some kind of difference.

Right? Yes?

The whole point of scholarship is for, ideally, some as many people as possible to see your work and for your work to make some kind of difference.

No matter what, you likely aren’t in Graduate School to create an elaborate secret about yourself.

Scholar(ly) Profiles

Scholarly profiles are unique in that they represent your work as an academic professional.

They are not unlike a CV.

They're sort of like academic 🔥tinder but, instead of being about hook-ups, it's about your research/career.

Scholar Profiles

A quick word on persistent identifiers.

Sharing Your Research

Sharing Your Research

Often, when you publish, you no longer own your work.

Make sure you check publisher policies to see what you're signing away.

Make sure you check to see what you're allowed by the publisher to share.

Think about what you want to share and where it is best to share it.

Thank you.
