Curating your Scholarly Online Presence

After Publication Checklist

Update your CV and your scholarly online presence

  • Be consistent within your own document (e.g. date format, reverse or chronological order)
  • Update each time something “CV worthy” occurs
  • Choose what you can keep up to date:
  1. ORCiD (recommended)
  2. Google Scholar (automatic)
  3. LinkedIn
  • How to hold yourself accountable:
    1. Present at a conference or get an article published.
    2. Upload PDF of slides/poster or post-print to IU Indianapolis ScholarWorks.
      • Presenting? Upload before so you can share link for attendees 
      • Publishing? Upload ASAP so your work can start reaching viewers
    3. Add work to your ORCiD profile, with the link to the item in IU Indianapolis ScholarWorks.
    4. Update your CV document based on your ORCiD profile when you can.

Interact with Others on Social Media

Do you have a social media account you use for professional networking?

  • Let your department know and they can tag you when promoting your paper.
  • Get familiar with hashtags in your field and add them to your posts. Using CamelCase for hashtags allows screen reader software for the visibly impaired to read them more accurately. Make sure to search a hashtag (especially acronyms) before using them to confirm it’s not being used for something else unrelated.
