Introducing Digital Scholarship Services: New Website and Consultation Service
The Libraries' new Digital Scholarship Services site is designed to be UCI faculty's one-stop destination for help with research and beyond. Scholarship in the digital age encompasses much more than the core work of research and publishing. Details vary by discipline but the general process is the same: research output and publications must be carefully managed, described, shared, tracked and preserved. All of these activities "surrounding" research together constitute the research life cycle, and are increasingly being required by both grant-funding agencies and research institutions.
Some of the tasks involved in meeting these requirements, such as creating an effective data management plan or complying with copyright and open-access policies, can quickly overwhelm the busy researcher. The Digital Scholarship Services site provides a wide variety of services and tools organized under the high-level steps of planning, implementation, publishing, discovery/impact, and preservation. The Digital Scholarship Services have been carefully developed to help faculty manage their research and fulfill grant compliance requirements as responsibly and efficiently as possible.
But that's not all: the Libraries have also unveiled a Digital Scholarship Consultation system to offer personalized assistance for all Digital Scholarship Services. Any UCI faculty member who wants to
- See how Digital Scholarship Services can improve their unique research workflow
- Learn more about any or all of the Digital Scholarship Services offered
- Address a digital research need not covered on the Digital Scholarship Services site
Let the Libraries' Digital Scholarship Services assist you in effectively navigating the entire research life cycle, so that you can get back to what really matters: the research. Schedule a consultation today!
