Researchers’ ‘split’ identities; or where researchers share their works on the web

The presenter will share her preliminary (2nd phase) research results on researchers’ identities management. Her pilot study explores the questions; 1) how have the faculty at the American University in Cairo (AUC) distributed and shared their scholarly and creative works? and 2) how are their names identified in various author identifier systems and/or on the Web? Attendees will learn how AUC faculty use different web-based, mostly open-access platforms, to share their research and their implications. We will also explore how the result can be used to support AMICAL Consortium’s aim for supporting research collaboration and connections among the faculty.
