Drexel Research Discovery repository – growing research information management system and public database (>100K) of Drexel research, central management for greater efficiency, automatic updates, opportunities for data sharing -- access via Drexel Connect SSO!

Researcher Guide

Examples

Study showing that maintaining a quality personal publication list (for example, via Esploro > ORCID or university profiles) has benefits for the researcher: The usefulness of personal publication lists in research evaluation10.1016/j.acalib.2024.102881

ORCID integration, updating publications lists

  • Examples
  • downstream NIH SciENcv updates for grant proposals
  • embed your publications list in article landing pages/pdfs (see Benefits > Sharing your work examples below)
