Author Profiles - Self-presentation is particularly important when it comes to conveying professionalism.The Scopus Author Identifier assigns a unique number to groups of documents written by the same author via an algorithm that matches authorship based on a certain criteria. If a document cannot be confidently matched with an author identifier, it is grouped separately. In this case, you may see more than 1 entry for the same author.

ResearcherID provides a solution to the author ambiguity problem within the scholarly research community. Each member is assigned a unique identifier to enable researchers to manage their publication lists, track their times cited counts and h-index, identify potential collaborators and avoid author misidentification.

About Author Impact

We will explore the importance of academic reputation, explaining your research to a wider audience, measuring the impact of your activities related to spreading the word about your publications, and what you can do to enhance yours.

Defining Impact; "… the beneficial application of research to achieve social, economic, environmental and/or cultural outcomes….… impact in the academic domain, which is seen more as an indicator of the intrinsic quality of the research on scholarly or academic measures"; Australian Research Quality Framework; 2006

Why? Google Scholar Author Profile?

Many people search Google Scholar because it’s easy. Google Scholar indexes “scholarly materials” – it includes a very large number of scholarly databases, but not commercial websites, and not law reports.  Google Scholar also indexes books and book chapters. This is good for humanities and social science academics (though not perfect).You can manually add publications that aren’t already in Google Scholar.You can export your Google Scholar citations to a spreadsheet, and then add in citations in judgments or government reports etc. to make a more complete record of your citations and impact. 

LinkedIn is a shared network for your professional life.  Why should Scholars use LinkedIn?

Digital Scholarship Services (DSS)DSS fosters the use of digital content and transformative technology in scholarship and academic activities. We work with the campus community to publish, promote, and preserve the digital products of research in several areas:

Scholarly Communication - Comply with UC Open Access Policies. Extend the reach of publications. Manage your reputation. Track impact.

Data Curation - Write grant winning Data Management Plans. Deposit data into repositories for access and preservation. Increase reproducibility.

Digital Production - Build collections. Digitize/reformat materials for preservation. Computationally mine, visualize, and annotate content.

What We DoDSS collaborates with UCI faculty members, students, and administrators to transform research and scholarly communication using new media and digital technologies. DSS manages content, infrastructure, and user interfaces for all stages of the research lifecycle, including research planning, execution, dissemination, discovery, preservation, and impact.

The University of California faculty Senate adopted an Open Access Policy to cover their research scholarly publications in July 2013, and solicited the California Digital Library (CDL) to help with the discovery and distribution of UC authored published articles. In support of the Open Access Policy, CDL and the Office of Scholarly Communications have partnered with the ten UC campuses to implement the Open Access Policy directives to make the scholarly articles widely available. The UC Open Access Policy timeline began with three pilot campuses (Irvine, Los Angeles, and San Francisco) to serve as early implementers. In 2013-2014, the faculty were asked to use a manual submission process to add their publications voluntarily or have work within their departments to have their publications added to eScholarship, the institutional repository for University of California. The second phase began in early 2015 with an automated system (UC Publications Management System) that collects publication citation metadata and provides assistance for uploading scholarly articles into eScholarship. This case study details the timeline for development of local campus communications at Irvine and San Diego, offers strategies for faculty outreach, demonstrates various marketing and advertising methods, and discusses the options for assessing the implementation of the UC Open Access Policy at the campus level.

Contextualization, understanding and active communication are the signs of relevant robust activity. In this case study approach to how the UC Irvine Libraries have executed campus involvement and engagement in promoting the participation levels of disseminating scholarly outputs, we have learned many things that can be defined as stemming from those arenas. Faculty are not inclined to do this independently, so we needed to create an organizational plan that would allow them a simple and direct way to submit their academic output, be it journal articles or other information products, to learn more about scholarly communication processes
