RRU Librarians are available to assist you with your research enquiries.
Once you’ve created your top 3 profiles, consider creating and managing other profiles as time permits.
Below are some other options for scholarly profile, including those commonly used by RRU researchers. Some scholarly profiling sites, like ResearchGate, allow for the uploading of full-text copies of your work. Many for-profit academic publishers (e.g., Wiley, Elsevier, Taylor & Francis) do not allow sharing the final published versions of work they publish. Sharing the link such as the DOIs or permanent links that lead to copies of work may be acceptable. It is your responsibility to determine if you have the rights and permissions to share the full text on these sites.
To find out if you have these rights, you can:
