Publications
This screen may be used in:
- Faculty profile pages
- College and department reporting (i.e. annual evaluations/merit reviews, program reviews)
You can enter your publications manually, or import them from a variety of sources.
At the very top of the screen, you can confirm if this publication can be displayed in your faculty profile page. The reason for this option has to do with specific situations when a faculty member prefers to hold off on listing a publication. An example can be the faculty member.
-
Select the type of contribution/publication from the drop-down list. If none of the options aligns with your contribution, select "Other" and provide a brief explanation in the field right below. If you think this option should be part of the drop-down menu, let your Digital Measures campus administrator know at digitalmeasures@utep.edu
-
Check the scholarship type applicable to your publication. These are based on Boyer's scholarship model, and may be referenced in department or college level reporting such as annual evaluations/merit reviews.

Your name is automatically included as author. If you need to add additional contributors, select the number of rows to add and click on the +Add button.
UTEP registered users (students, facultly, and staff) can be typed or selected from the drop-down menu, and you don't have to enter any of the other information, unless their level if they are students. If authors are not UTEP students or faculty, enter their information in the corresponding fields.
If necessary, you can re-order authors using the ▲ ▼ symbols. You can also remove authors by clicking on the trashcan symbol corresponding to their name.
Here is where all the publication designations and identifiers go. Things like the ISBN and DOI, if available, are captured. Keep in mind to come back to this screen and update your publication information, if any of it has changed. Maybe your publication's status changed to "Published" and you need to enter a volume and issue number, for example.
You can also enter keywords that can help identify your publication in an online search, or when you, your department, and/or college need to run a report in Digital Measures (See Screenshot). Check with your college and/or department if there is a specific taxonomy of keywords already in place for you to use.
You can capture all the dates your publication process goes through, all the way to when it's published. Make sure to keep track of all the applicable dates in Digital Measures for any report or evaluation you are working on.
Note: Digital Commons at UTEP is an institutional repository or archive of the research being done at The University. Items eligible for inclusion range from pre-prints, post-prints, working papers, photographs, dissertations and technical reports, just to name a few. More information about Digital Commons at UTEP can be found at: https://digitalcommons.utep.edu/about.html
To make things easier, you can consolidate your publications from different sources in Digital Measures. There are several ways you can bring your intellectual contributions from other databases like Google Scholar, EndNote, and RefWorks, through BibTeX imports.
BibTeX is the most broadly supported standardized way to structure publication citations in a file. This makes it easy to move citations between two software applications. You export citations from one software application into a BibTeX file and then import that file into another software application. In this case, you are exporting from another software application and importing into Digital Measures.
Digital Measures is also growing its partnerships with other databases like Crossref, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science, to make the import process very easy. Direct access to these databases dramatically reduces the time it takes to enter your data into Digital Measures, while increasing the quality of the data.
You can find out more on importing your publications in the Guides and Videos section of this site.
