Faculty Profiles and ScholarWorks
University Libraries supports BGSU faculty in creating, sharing and preserving their scholarly and creative work through a range of open access publishing services.
Faculty Profiles
Showcase Your Scholarly and Creative Work
BGSU faculty can request an individual profile on the University’s public profiles portal to highlight scholarly and creative activities.
- Library staff work directly with faculty to customize profiles.
- Profiles support a wide range of content types: journal articles, books, musical compositions, course materials, designs, exhibits, awards, press coverage and more.
- The system automatically searches databases like EBSCO, ORCID, PubMed, SSRN, and Web of Science weekly to find new publications.
- For previously published work, staff check copyright permissions and upload full-text content when allowed.
