It goes without saying that building your digital identity as a researcher can be an effective way to publicize your work among your peers, but, the authors emphasize, this activity must be done carefully and skillfully.  Indeed, developing these skills can forge a path to professional advancement in hiring, promotion, and tenure.  Moreover, a well-designed digital presence can help build networks which can lead to collaborations, increased research, and grants.  In addition, having a well-managed digital identity helps an academic engage with the public by strategically disseminating  one’s knowledge to students, public, and the media. Importantly, it can also help prevent misinformation.  Whether readers are new in the field of research and publishing, or have a well-established portfolio of written literature, this handy title will provide vital guidance in establishing a digital presence, covering a wide range of issues.  Key topics discussed, for example, include academic digital platforms and tools to consider when using them, working with academic librarians, social media platforms, choosing digital identity management tools like Open Researcher and Contributor ID or ORCID, the importance of author metrics and the h-index, and maintaining and curating a professional website, to name just several areas discussed.  An invaluable contribution to the career literature, \u003ci\u003eBuilding Your Academic Research Digital Identity\u003c\/i\u003e will enable readers to strategically understand all the tools, platforms, and metrics needed to establish and cultivate one’s crucially important digital profile.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMargaret Rush Dreker, MPA, MLS\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eMedical Librarian\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eInterprofessional Health Sciences Library\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eHackensack Meridian School of Medicine\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e123 Metro Blvd, \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eNutley, NJ 07110\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e(973) 542-6973\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eMargaret.dreker@hmhn.org\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003emargaret.dreker@shu.edu\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eKyle James Downey, MLIS\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eCollege of Nursing \u0026amp; School of Health and Medical Sciences Librarian\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eInterprofessional Health Sciences Library\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eSeton Hall University\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e123 Metro Blvd,\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eNutley, NJ 07110\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e (973)-542-6967\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003ekyle.downey@shu.edu\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 February 2024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783031503160\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e153\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45385745367180,"sku":"9783031503160","price":34.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031503160.jpg?v=1780602615","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031503160","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
