- 77. My views ofthe future • “Altmetrics” popularity is growing. • ORCID is already important – get one • Scientists, and especially young scientists, can “get in early” and build reputation • It takes effort driven by participation…
- 78. I recommend… • Registerfor an ORCID ID • Develop your LinkedIn profile • Publish to Slideshare • Track Google Scholar Citations (for now) • Choose: ResearchGate or Academia.edu • Participate in building your profile
