Your Digital Presence
As a researcher, it is more important than ever to position yourself and your scholarship to the world. Digital platforms have made it a simple matter to establish your personal profile online, but in a crowded marketplace, it is easy to be lost in the shuffle.
The following pages demonstrate ways in which you may position yourself within the broader academic community. This can lead to:
- greater networking opportunities
- higher discoverability on your research
- more reader traffic for your research
- elevated citation numbers
Very importantly, by establishing detailed presences for yourself online, you can distinguish yourself from other researchers who may share a similar name or field of study. By affiliating your scholarship with your profile, you ensure you are easy to find, and that your research output is properly affiliated with TMU.
