Ensure identification and correct attribution of your work:
Use for career advancement and tenure:
Control privacy settings of your researcher profiles.
Find collaborators outside your institution and across disciplines.
Take your author profile to another institution.
We would like to express our gratitude to Ms Natasha Arguello and UTSA Libraries for allowing us to adapt their Author Profiles LibGuide.
