This guide was created to support the "Raising Your Scholarly Profile Workshop" first presented September 18, 2015. Presenters included: David Nolfi, Rob Behary, Allison Brungard, Kelley Cotter, & Gesina Phillips. This guide is based on Stacy Konkiel's 30-Day Impact Challenge.

The concept of "raising your scholarly profile" might strike some scholars and researchers as being self-promoting and immodest. We don't believe that's the case.

This guide is designed to help you begin the process of raising your scholarly profile using a variety of methods. The methods that work best for your individual discipline may vary. If you have questions about the guide or about additional resources, please contact one of the guide authors.
