Scholarly identity is about more than the articles you publish or the projects you share online with your research communities. Scholarly identity includes the many parts of your history and engagement as a researcher, including your education, employment, awards, collaborators and more – and it exists whether you are the one curating it or not. Taking control of your scholarly identity supports your visibility, credibility and transparency as a researcher and plays a crucial role in open scholarly communication. This workshop will cover the importance and impact of creating and managing your scholarly identity with tools like ORCID and Google Scholar, as well as how these tools connect with other network and profile platforms. Other options like Twitter and ResearchGate will also be explored. Instructor: Hannah Sutherland and Stephen Gabrielson
