Objectives:

  • Differentiate among popular scholarly profiles and researcher IDs to promote discovery and dissemination of your research
  • Differentiate among tools and platforms for tracking the public and scholarly impacts of your scholarship (publications, data, code)
  • Be aware of your rights as an author
  • Be aware of open science methods, platforms, and tools to support discovery and dissemination of your research
  • Differentiate among copyright and copyleft, and open source 

Session Discussion Topics:

I. Scholarly Profiles and Researcher IDs
