Raise the Profile of Your Research.
Last year we released one chapter of the OU Impact Challenge each week. That content is still live, and it won’t be going anywhere. Work through it at your own pace, and select the activities that suit you best.
But for those who are short on time, we’ve created OU Impact Challenge modules. Each module contains several OU Impact Challenge chapters grouped to maximize your time and energy. You can still expect to see your research get a boost in exposure, even if you only have time to complete a module or two.
Activities
ORCiDs protect your unique scholarly identity and help keep your publication record up-to-date with very little effort.
Google Scholar showcases your papers and citations and ups your scholarly SEO (a.k.a “Googleability”).
Understanding the effects of fully exercising the rights you have as an author can help you make educated choices about the publishing outlets to which you choose to submit work.
Uploading your work to SHAREOK ensures it will be indexed, shared, maintained and preserved – long after Academia.edu, ResearchGate, and Mendeley are gone!
Twitter helps you stay on top of news in your field, find new publications, get speaking and publishing opportunities, communicate research directly to the public, and – perhaps most importantly – find a sense of community.
