Raising Your Scholarly Profile

Things to Think About...

For many academics, publicizing and promoting scholarship is a foreign concept. However, by promoting your scholarship you can help additional audiences to find it, which can lead to new opportunities for collaboration, interest from disciplines other than your own, and public interest.

Campus Resources

Campus resources are available to help you publicize your scholarship when appropriate. Consult with your dean or department chairs for related policies in your school or unit.

Duquesne Marketing and Communications

Duquesne's Media Relations department can help "...generate interest in newsworthy events, research and topical subjects impacting the local and national landscape."

Contact your school Marketing and Communications representative for more information. 

• Faculty Spotlight

  Share word of your scholarly presentations, publications, and awards via the Faculty Spotlight Recommendation Form. Faculty Spotlight news items primarily target the campus community. Note: schools and departments may report information differently. Check with your school or department to determine whether you have a designated Marketing and Communications liaison and/or to whom you should report your accomplishments.

• Grant Notices

  The Office of Research and Innovation shares grant notices with Marketing and Communications. Award letters are used to generate DU Times stories related to grants and awards. However, faculty are encouraged to reach out to Marketing and Communications regarding stories/news releases about their findings.

• Become a "Media Expert" for Media Inquiries

  Media Relations routinely requires subject experts for media requests. Fill out the Media Expert questionnaire in DORI (DORI>My Sites>Employee>Marketing and Communications>Media Experts). Send your completed questionnaire to a member of the Media Relations team.
