Faculty Research and Writing Workshops
Upcoming
Building and Maintaining Your Scholarly Profile in Web of Science and Scopus
September 13, 2024
12:30–2:30 p.m.
Learn to establish and optimize your ORCHID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID), and claim and edit your scholarly profiles in Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Scopus. Claiming and maintaining your profiles in these resources ensures that your work is correctly represented and attributed to you, allows you to keep up to date with works in your specific field, and notifies you when authors cite your work or works that you’re citing in your research.
Join your faculty and librarian colleagues to explore a variety of tools and strategies to build and maintain your online scholarly profile. Faculty from all disciplines and career stages are encouraged to attend.
This session is co-sponsored by the Faculty director of Research Development and the Vassar Libraries.
Location: Main Library Computer Classroom (rm. 160)
