Tools like Scopus, Web of Science, and Journal Citation Reports provide indicators of research productivity. Portals like Academia.edu, ResearchGate, Humanities Commons, and Google Profiles allow researchers to share their work and network with other scholars. Zotero, EndNote, and Mendeley make organizing and sharing sources a snap. Publishing in open access venues and posting your research to scholarly repositories can enhance your research impact. Familiarity with these new tools and strategies helps researchers find colleagues, collaborators, and funders, as well as facilitates the tenure and promotion process.

Join us for the second workshop in our series to explore the professional and ethical uses of academic social networks such as ResearchGate and Academia as well as preferences of scholars in different disciplines. We will talk about ORCiD and other researcher IDs and how they can be used to enhance your online profile.
