Hi Kristen! I’ve linked Brandon Locke’s profile to that deposit. Currently, members can email hello [at] hcommons-staging.org to request additional authors’ profiles get linked to a CORE deposit. In the future, we plan to have the option for members to do this themselves! Thanks for the question.

Hi, I’m being a bit late by sneaking this post in today. But I just wanted to echo the thanks already made to Caitlin for hosting this camp and providing us with this great opportunity to learn and reflect.

As a complete newbie to HC I found the whole week to be useful. Highlights though have included –

1. finding groups of like-minded…

Hi all-sorry for the late post (I had family in town all day yesterday).

Caitlin, thanks as always for organizing the Summer Camp. The questions that you pose are excellent ways to reflect on our professional practice. I’m sketching out some ideas over the next few weeks about how to incorporate HC work into one of my classes this term; work that…[Read more]

Caitlin, thank you so much for doing this work! I’m late to the boat; properly joined the Workshop today and am still figuring out my academic online presence.

I’ve only completed some tasks, but it’s a start. So I’m proudest of the bare minimum – having set up my profile at all. Step by step! Perhaps I’ll be back in August, to flesh out my p…[Read more]

I just got in and uploaded an article that I co-authored a few years ago (https://hcommons-staging.org/deposits/item/hc:25255/). I have a question about co-authorship in CORE and how it works with author profiles: My co-author for this work was Brandon Locke, who has an HCommons profile (https://hcommons-staging.org/members/brandontlocke/). But…[Read more]

‘morning folks.

Thanks to @caitlinduffy49 for inviting me to moderate today’s discussion. In addition to everyone’s posts and responses to Caitlin’s questions and prompts, I’ll offer that thinking about your profile and sites should be an ongoing process. Just as creative or analytical writing is a form of knowledge formation/construction,…[Read more]

@cgleek – Thanks for sharing these exam lists! I also really like your idea of encouraging more people to upload and share their exam lists and other graduate student documents. I now plan to upload my lists to CORE, though they’re also already up on my site (linked in case anyone wants to see them). Creating an HC group that specifically caters…[Read more]

I’m a complete newbie to HC and CORE so spent some time searching the repository first. I loved finding so much stuff in there that interested me and led me down a cool rabbit hole of groups and people discussing these topics. One feature I’d like to see is an ability to bookmark items in CORE that can be saved in my profile to read later.

I then…[Read more]

One area I think that HC can help its members with is the sharing of readings/exam materials. Yes, we’re all interested in posting our working papers and articles, but there’s real value in emerging scholars posting their comps reading lists, as well as departments posting mock lists, expected PhD readings, and similar documentation. To this end,…[Read more]

So…groups have always been tricky for me. I tend to find that (in my areas anyway) that the volume of posting papers/etc. far outweighs the discussion (for the record, I’m equally culpable in publishing material rather than engaging in discussion). I regularly search for topics and groups in and around print culture, book history, and southern…[Read more]

Thanks, @ltyler and @cgleek, for sharing your thoughts! I really like Lisa’s idea of using time that I may have otherwise used procrastinating on social media on updating my HC profile. I’ll definitely use this method going forward!

I also agree with Charlie that the upcoming conferences section can be helpful in meeting and connecting with other…[Read more]

Excellent idea! I’m impressed with how much work you’ve uploaded to CORE. Over the next year I hope to work on contacting journals for permission to upload more of my published work.

Hi folks! Thanks for the thoughtful start to summer camp. While I’ve been working on my profile this summer in preparation for a soft entry onto the job market this fall, I overlooked the value of posting my upcoming conferences and invited workshops for the fall. As we consider the value of our profiles – not only as a showcase but as a tool to…[Read more]

The easiest way to find people who are working on topics of interest to you is to search for a particular topic and then click “members” under the “filter by” links (these appear on the righthand side of my laptop screen).

I recommend updating occasionally throughout the year–I update my page when I just can’t stand to grade one more paper. It’s a really good way to remind yourself of your accomplishments, which can make you feel better about grading those papers after all.
