The UK-REI-CC Scholars Portal includes:
Information about academic appointments
Research expertise
Publication outputs and metrics
Awarded sponsored grants and contracts

Equipment and laboratory space
Additional scholarly accomplishments and affiliations
Each profile includes a specialized “scholarly fingerprint” related to the topical area and expertise of the researcher or research unit.
UK-REI-CC Scholars Portal is powered by PURE, Scopus & Elsevier Fingerprint EngineTM

In the Edit Profile section, select the Add ID button.
Select the Save button in the Edit Profile window when changes are complete.
Profiles include a section where researchers can add keywords, like free tagging. These keywords are searchable.
To add keywords, visit the Edit Profile section, and scroll to the Keywords heading.
Select the Save button after adding keywords.
Each database profile automatically includes a "Fingerprint," a set of weighted terms based on a text analysis of publications in PURE, as well as other information added into your profile.
You can remove Fingerprint terms that are no longer relevant, but you cannot add Fingerprints. Additional information entered a profile is indexed, weighted and added into the Fingerprint algorithm.
To remove Fingerprints:
In Edit Profile section, select Fingerprints in the menu on the left. By hovering over a Fingerprint with your mouse, or by using the Tab key to navigate to the chosen Fingerprint, you will see a red X appear on the tag allowing you to remove it. Select the Save button in the Edit Profile window when changes are complete.
A list of honorific awards and prizes compiled by the Proposal Development Office (PDO) has automatically been uploaded to Scholars@UK.
If you would like to include an honorific award or prize not maintained by PDO, there is an option to manually add content using the following steps:
Your profile is automatically defaulted to show your collaboration map and publication metrics (H-index and citation metrics). However, you do have the option to hide these metrics on your profile. This does not delete any data from the backend reporting module, it only removes it from your public profile.
Click Edit Profile and select Portal profile. From this window, you can select or unselect the information you wish to show on your public profile. Click the Save at the bottom of the page.

Your Scholars@UK profile has been pre-populated with information from several databases. However, you can edit or remove a field using the instructions below. Please note, there are some fields that are “locked” due to the sync process and cannot be edited.

Under Organizational Affiliations you may have noticed your start dates are incorrect. With limited access to data, our team has intentionally hard coded dates for appointments. This allows us to sort appointments in order of importance. If the order is incorrect, this field is editable. Please note, start dates are only visible to yourself and our team.
Users don't have the option to add an organizational affiliation. Please contact your REI-CC pure administrators to add an organizational affiliation; Stephanie Beck, Stephanie.Thompson84@uky.edu or Baron Wolf, baron.wolf@uky.edu.
Publications are currently imported from Scopus automatically during a weekly sync process.
However, users have the option to include additional online resources such as PubMed and Web of Science (lite). For a complete list of Scholars@UK online resources, please click here.
To receive notifications from these publications, users must enable them in their profile:

If you prefer not to turn on automated searches for the online resources, or wish to access a database which currently does not feature automated searches, there is the option to create a single search. This will provide results for a search parameter at the time of the search, but will not send notifications when new content is added. Users may select the publications they wish to import.
A list of publications containing the search parameters should appear. You have the option to Import or Remove them.
If users have a publication or scholarly work not included in online resources connected to Scholars@UK, they can be manually added:

While SCOPUS and other available data sources represent a wealth of scholarly work, we understand they will not include all completed research outputs.
If you believe your scholarly work should be indexed by SCOPUS, please follow instructions to have the specific journal or resource indexed. Elseiver will process the request and determine if the resource meets their requirements for indexing. While this is not possible for every suggestion, continuous suggestions and outreach are critical for the quality of the SCOPUS database as the project evolves.
