If you want all your work displayed in one place, or a profile independent of your institution, consider setting up one or more author IDs. Here are a few to consider:
Scholars@UNCW is Randall library's contribution to showcasing the scholarly activity our faculty participate in. For more information, visit our Scholars@UNCW guide.
ORCID (Open Research and Contributor ID) is a nonprofit, scholar-led organization that issues unique ORCID iDs for individual researchers. The ORCID iD is a 16-digit string of numbers connecting to a profile that allows scholars to control their academic record, distinguishes them from others with similar names, and provides a persistent record regardless of name, affiliation, or translation changes. It can be thought of as a scholarly fingerprint.
Creating a profile on Google Scholar associates your work with you and allows you to add your organization, preferred email contact, and area of research.
Social media can be a powerful tool for research impact, but it can also be overwhelming. Think about platforms you enjoy the most, platforms you're curious about, platforms you've seen colleges or members of your scholarly community use, etc. You don't have to be on all of them - pick the ones that are meaningful to you and your work.
