A guide to developing your scholarly profile and increasing your presence online.

Tracking

Metadata about usage, or the data about how your work is used, can help you focus your research and outreach efforts. For instance, if you know in which academic areas, geographical regions, and on what platforms your scholarship is most discoverable and cited, you can take a more targeted approach to your scholarship.
