NYU Scholars

NYU Scholars includes tenured/tenure-track faculty from select participating departments.

NYU Scholars is an online tool that aggregates publication information from external sources, and ensures that data is trusted, comprehensive and accessible in real time.

• Intended for Faculty, Deans and Dept Chairs, and collaboration.
  
• Reduces administrative burden up front by integrating publications/citations data into researchers' profiles.
  
• Saves time and increases data accuracy through validated publication imports from a variety of online sources.
  
• Saves time building and maintaining CVs by automatically updating the publications, and personalizing the content – good for grant apps and APRs.
  
• Showcases accomplishments and attracts potential collaborators.
• Ability to view departments’ aggregated publications and citations in a dashboard.

• Automatically receive new publications found in Scopus
  
• Review, edit, import and add publications
  
• Add awards, honors and professional activities
  
• View publication history
  
• View publications in which a publication is cited
  
• View Scopus citation counts
  
• View research relations
  
• Edit profile information
  
• Generate CVs and NIH Biosketch
  
• Easily access abstracts and electronic versions of many publications
  

Faculty can access NYU Scholars in a few ways:

1. Direct URL: nyuscholars.nyu.edu/admin/. If prompted, enter your Net ID and NYU Home Password
   
2. Publications tab within the UDW+ Grants Management Dashboard
   
3. NYU Scholars link within the Research Tab of NYU Home
   

The NYU Scholars Public Portal allows scholars as well as journalists, donors, and policymakers to find NYU faculty members who are working at the forefront of new areas of scholarly inquiry.

NYU Scholars automatically captures publication information from the Scopus database while allowing faculty and their proxies to correct and augment those data.

Project staff assembled initial publication lists for included faculty to replicate submitted CVs. Abstracts, interviews, submitted work, and conference presentations without evidence of a related publication are excluded.

Those initial lists are continuously updated by automatic additions from Scopus and faculty editing.

Scopus publication and citation data are automatically updated on a weekly basis. Faculty and their proxies may add publications manually at any time.

Publications found in Scopus are automatically added to your data. You have the option of automating imports from some other sources including PubMed, Web of Knowledge and ArXiv.

If you notice duplicate publication records in your research output list, send an email with the publication details to NYUScholars@nyu.edu. These records must be successfully merged by NYU Scholars administrators or Scopus to insure a correct citation count.

• Missing publication: See "A publication is missing, how do I manually add a publication?"
• Publication wrongly included: See "How do I remove a publication wrongly included?".
• Incorrect or incomplete publication detail (such as title, authors, peer-reviewed status, journal or book detail): Edit the record. See "How do I edit my publication data?".
• Duplicate records: See "How do I address duplicate publications?".
• Affiliation and nationality of co-authors is not correctly identified: Edit the record. This is most likely for manually entered publications. See "How do I edit my research output?".

If a Publication was wrongly included in your profile, you may disclaim the content.

1. Locate the publication in your publication list.
   
2. Press the content-action symbol (gear-icon in the lower right-hand corner of publication).

If you expect a publication to exist, but it is not listed in your publication list, you can search for it within NYU Scholars and "claim" the record.
Similarly, if you try to add an article already recorded by a co-author, NYU Scholars will warn you that there is a duplicate in the system. To claim the publication:

1. At the top of the Research output page remove the "My content" filter by clicking on the x next to it. You will then see all the publications in NYU Scholars.
   
2. Search for the publication you want to add to your list by typing in all or part of the title.
   
3. Once you locate the publication, press the content-action symbol (gear icon in the lower right-hand corner of a publication).
   
4. Select “Claim content”. This will send a message to NYUScholars@nyu.edu for processing.

The Fingerprint Engine identifies key concepts in publications' titles and abstracts. The Fingerprint Engine mines this text using a variety of Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, identifies the concepts that define the text, and produces a semantic index, or fingerprint, of weighted terms that represents the text.

When viewing Research Output in the NYU Scholars Public Portal, some publications will contain an Altmetric icon on the right-hand side. Clicking on this icon will display an Altmetric details page, showing the online attention and activity for the selected publication.  The Altmetric page will show a range of online conversations surrounding the publication, collected from social media sites, newspapers, policy documents, blogs, Wikipedia, and many other sources.

To help put the data in context, an Altmetric score has been given for each publication. The Altmetric score is a high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. The scoring algorithm takes various factors into account, such as the relative reach of the different sources of attention.
