SMC Scholar Profiles

Overview

Scholar Profiles and Digital Commons

Scholar Profiles and Digital Commons are both cloud-based platforms to showcase the scholarship and creative work of scholars at institutions of higher education.

  • Scholarly Profiles focuses on bringing together the work of scholars into personal profile pages.

  • Digital Commons focuses on bringing together the output of an entire institution.

  • Both Scholar Profiles and Digital Commons are configured in a way that makes it possible to share documents and metadata between platforms.

There are numerous existing and emerging tools available to help you track your scholarly impact by enabling you to create a virtual scholarly profile in which you input and keep track of all your professional activities and publications.
