Join this session.

Presenters: Rachel Borchardt (Librarian, University Library) & Alayne Mundt (Associate Librarian, University Library)

Time: 10:55 AM – 11:45 AM

Session Description

Publications are widely used in a number of contexts, including institution-level data for rankings, but how does a publication get associated with AU? The unique qualities of AU have led to frequent publication misattribution. In this session, two library faculty will review the data in Elsevier’s Scopus, and address how they are working to standardize and improve this data.

Learning Outcomes

• Articulate how publications are attributed to authors and institutions, and the role metadata plays in proper attribution and evaluation
• Implement tips and suggestions for correcting and improving your publication attribution accuracy in citation databases
• Identify library support and understand the role the library plays in managing and improving author
