Step-by-Step instructions

Whether you create publication records from scratch, or import publications, there are few details that will increase the quality of the records, and hence your CV or other report. These items include:

  • Indicating publication type – often journal article
  • Indicate whether the publication was peer reviewed
  • Indicate current status

Note that these things are not included when publications are imported, but they are critical for quality records creation.

Show examples from the Reproductive Site Selection: Evidence of an Oviposition Cue in a Highly Adaptive Dipteran, Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae) publication.

If work has been published in a journal, enter only the name of the journal, and not the journal publisher. If the work is other than a journal, enter the name of the publisher.

Because four colleges and the Extension Service share the same instance of Digital Measures, on some level there must be agreements and compromises about what the faculty see. For that reason, one of the most useful skills in creating records is knowing what to ignore. 

When creating publication records, I consider what I would have entered in my original Word doc CV, the one I kept before we adopted Digital Measures. I would not have entered the city and state of a journal publisher in my Word doc. So I don’t enter that information in Digital Measures.
