About Scholars@TAMU

Scholars@TAMU is a profile system that hosts searchable expertise for faculty and TAMU organizations by gathering data from institution-level/enterprise systems, publicly available research data (e.g., grants and publications), and other authoritative sources. The data is compiled into a profile that you can edit to best represent your scholarship and expertise. This system helps to:

  • Improve the discoverability of scholarly expertise,
  • Enhance the scholarly identity of researchers and
  • Facilitate new research collaborations.

Current System Features

  1. Email Notification for Faculty with unclaimed publications: Email service for faculty with unclaimed publications has been started in February 2018
  2. Assign Delegate for Departments: Departments can assign delegates to update faculty profiles
  3. Data Re-Use:
    • Application Programming Interface (API). The Scholars@TAMU team is now working with Colleges, Departments and Centers to dynamically provide current and accurate data via the API, facilitating the re-use of data for websites (e.g., Energy Institute, Department of Biochemistry & Biophysics), institutional reports, and Interfolio Faculty180.
    • Embed script. Faculty and web developers will have the capability to copy and paste script from Scholars@TAMU to embed a list of selected publications to their web pages. Faculty can dynamically edit their selected publications list within the Scholars@TAMU editor.
    • Single Page Bio and Profile Summary. Users will have access to export and print a one-page bio, which includes their photo and profile overview that can be used for speaker introductions and publication bios.
    • Export Search results. Results from the Scholars@TAMU search can now be exported in csv format that can be used in creating reports, analyses, and pre-populate forms.
  4. Integration with External Systems:
    • Altmetric and Dimensions badges are available on Scholars@TAMU profiles
    • Institutional repository document metadata are harvested from OAKTrust (TAMU) and Digital Commons (Law School), allowing faculty to include a range of documents in their profile.
