Scholarly Communications Newsletter - May 2021

Promote Yourself This Summer

Faculty, as you wrap up the academic year, there’s an easy task that will pay off when you return next fall: updating or creating your SelectedWorks Profile. Chances are you’ve published research, presented at virtual conferences, and accomplished a variety of scholarly activities this year. Perhaps newer faculty or those from Armstrong and Liberty Campuses haven’t created a profile yet. Or maybe it’s been a while since you’ve updated your existing profile. The University Libraries want to promote your work in our institutional repository, Georgia Southern Commons

Complete this form to get the process started. 

Through our turn-key service, the Georgia Southern Commons Team will build or update your SelectedWorks Profile based on your current CV. Benefits include:

  • A professional, Georgia Southern-branded profile showcasing your scholarship.
  • Preserve your work in Georgia Southern Commons, the University’s secure, stable Open Access archive. 
  • Increase discoverability of your work through search engine optimization.
  • The new version of PlumX Metrics is now private and accessible only to you and others you invite to see your Author Dashboard.
  • Monthly Georgia Southern Commons Readership Reports delivered to your inbox.
  • Deposit and share data as required by many funders and publishers.
  • Host materials in a variety of formats, including documents, image galleries, and downloadable and streaming video files. 

Complete this form to send in your CV, or contact us at digitalcommons@georgiasouthern.

Georgia Southern Commons Redesign

Georgia Southern Commons is getting a fresh look this summer! New visual and functional features will enhance the experience for visitors. The redesign features improved navigation and an updated header, colors, and fonts. The new site will go live before Fall semester starts. We can’t wait to share it with our community!
