Support
LSU Libraries’ bibliometric services can provide publication and citation analytics on individual and departmental levels and analyze the impact of the publications produced by LSU researchers. In addition, we can
- Provide information on the responsible use of metrics
- Help users find and interpret journal metrics and rankings
- Help researchers locate author-level metrics and select appropriate indicators to demonstrate research impact
- Recommend post-publication strategies to improve the visibility of scholarship

LSU Libraries can support faculty and students in using digital tools and methods to explore humanities topics. Digital humanities is a wide-ranging field, and we can provide services related to:
- Digital Project Web Hosting
- Creating Story Maps
- Performing Computational Text Analysis
- Building Digital Collections

The LSU Libraries supports journal publishing for LSU faculty members who edit journals or serve on editorial committees and boards. The Libraries can help LSU faculty members establish journals, or migrate existing ejournals, and make them freely available. Journals hosted by LSU Libraries should be scholarly in nature and adhere to best practices in scholarly publishing (see, for example, Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing).

The LSU Scholarly Repository collects, preserves, publishes and makes openly accessible the research and scholarship contributed by LSU faculty, staff, students, and units. Research and scholarly archived materials can include articles, monographs, books, theses & dissertations, audio-visual presentations, working papers, technical reports, conference proceedings, special collections, data, and publicly funded research.
Building and improving the accuracy of a researcher’s scholarly identity can increase a researcher’s impact. The following are ways we can assist faculty with maintaining their academic identities:
- ORCiD: A complete and accurate ORCiD record facilitates grant writing and disambiguates researchers with similar names. LSU Libraries can import article records for faculty.
- Web of Science: The Libraries can ensure that LSU researchers’ profiles in Web of Science accurately reflect their scholarly work, improving the reliability of the reported h-index.
- Google Scholar: The Libraries can audit public Google Scholar profiles for accuracy and assist with remediation.
- Scopus: The Libraries can connect a researcher’s ORCiD profile to their Scopus author profile.
We can also audit faculty author profiles. An audit can differentiate you from other researchers with similar names, allow you to accurately demonstrate your impact for professional advancement, and help you to build a professional network. We can help set up profiles and streamline the process of maintaining them. We can also identify and merge duplicate profiles. We will evaluate common author profiles (e.g., ORCiD, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, etc.).
This service is available to faculty and researchers at Louisiana State University and the LSU AgCenter. Complete the audit request, and we will contact you with our findings in approximately 2 weeks.
