Scholarly Communication

Look at the web presences of your peers, mentors, and field experts

• What content do they include?
• What platforms are they using?
• How does their web presence and researcher profiles impact your impress of them?

Ask yourself: What do you want to achieve? What do you want to communicate about yourself?

There are various platforms for research profiles. Some popular ones include:

• ORCID
• Google Scholar
• ResearchGate
• Academia.edu
• Mendeley
• LinkedIn
• figshare
• ImpactStory

Remember that not all research platforms are created equal. Each one has its benefits and drawbacks, especially as for-profit companies (such as Academia.edu). 

As of 2022, the University Library has implemented ScholarsCommons, "FGCU's portal for showcasing scholarship, expertise, and activities by our community of scholars." For any questions, please contact Scholarly Communications Librarian Kaleena Rivera.
