Celebration of Faculty Scholarship

Where you publish can be as important as what you publish. This decision impacts the discoverability of your research, your research profile and how your research is perceived by your university and colleagues.  This guide gives a brief overview of the tools available to you to manage your scholarship and research profile. The tabs above cover the following topics:

• Identifying Publications for My Research 
• Managing Your Research Profile 
• Who is Citing Me? 
• Google Scholar 
• Scopus 
• More ZU Databases 
• Altmetrics 
• Learn More about Open Access 
• Other Available Tools
• In the process, it becomes easier to avoid predatory publishers
