Impact and Metrics: Library Tools and Services

Digital repositories serve as virtual showcases for your research. Digital Commons is the university's archive and repository for USF faculty's research and creative activities. Authors can track interest in their work though the author dashboard or through monthly readership reports. Faculty can use this platform and the library's related services to help disseminate their work by increased search results, which may also be provided for use in promotion and tenure applications. The Digital Commons team can offer individual data on downloads, both number and geographic location(s) upon request. They also manage the content and all that is needed is a faculty curriculum vitae to get the ball rolling. If you have any questions, please let them know!
