Build a verified, cross-platform scholarly profile that discovery systems, promotion panels, and collaborators can actually find.
You've published. But right now, nobody can find you. This course changes that permanently. In seven modules covering Scopus, Google Scholar, ORCID, citation mechanics, the h-index, and journal discoverability, you will build a complete academic identity that the systems running your career can see — and act on.
The foundations of scholarly discovery: how the system works, why most researchers are invisible in it, and how to diagnose your own position today.
Master your Scopus Author Profile: claim it, clean duplicate records, recover missing papers, and present it the way a promotion committee reads it.
Fix the most common Google Scholar mistakes, claim every paper you have published, and set up the monitoring tools that keep your profile accurate automatically.
Create and configure your ORCID iD, link it to every major platform, and add it to your CV, email signature, and grant applications.
Understand the full citation journey from publication to reference list, the discoverability factors that determine citation velocity, and the writing strategies that get papers found and cited.
Understand how the h-index is calculated, why it varies across platforms, what score you need for your specific career context, and the ethical strategies for growing it.
Understand the full paper lifecycle from acceptance to indexed to discovered, choose journals for maximum discoverability, and use preprints and open repositories to extend your reach.
