Scholarly Identity and Research Metrics: An Introduction

Learn to manage your scholarly identity and demonstrate the impact of your research and career.

Managing your scholarly identity is the first step toward demonstrating the impact of your academic work, including research, teaching, interests, or anything else relevant to your career. From there you can begin to explore ways to capture impact and tell your story. In this session, we will register and review an author profile and learn the basics of research evaluation metrics.

This workshop is intended for Northwestern University students, staff, and faculty. This workshop will be presented in a hybrid format: online via Zoom, and in person at the University Library.

The workshop is led by Jamie Carlstone, Authority Metadata Librarian; and Gina Petersen, Assessment Librarian.
