What to publish?

• Which versions am I sharing?
  • Preprints on a preprint server like arxiv?
  • Accepted manuscripts in our institutional repo?
  • Links to publisher PDFs I paid an APC to open up?
  • Links to publisher PDFs that most people can't read?
  • Subsets of my research data?
  • All of my research data?
• A presumption of access...
  • What am I allowed to share?
  • Which versions of things are open, and which aren't?
  • How open should my data be? Does it need to be?

The odds are good that you're going to want to share some of these things with folks.

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.

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 dating profiles but, instead of being about true love, it's about your research/career.

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.
