In the spring, academic units began providing faculty CVs to be imported into the system by the GTScholar team. To date, 70 faculty profiles have been created, with 100 more in a queue. With every new user, the Institute is one step closer to having a tool that will make life easier for faculty.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cI used an equivalent of GTScholar in my previous position at Imperial College,\u201d said Ross Ethier, professor in the Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering. \u201cOnce it was set up, it was a snap; every month or two, I would get an email with notification of my publications that it had found. The email contained a link I could click on and confirm authorship of the articles, abstracts, or book chapters.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBy creating a centralized data source for faculty CVs, teaching, research, and service activities, GTScholar will support Tech\u2019s Southern Association of Colleges and Schools reaffirmation process.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EGTScholar also opens the door to new cross-campus research collaborations.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cGTScholar will provide excellent support to track research trends across thematic areas such as energy or sustainability,\u201d said Mary Hallisey Hunt, senior research associate and director of operations for the Strategic Energy Institute. \u201cWhether identifying strengths to facilitate engage- ment with industry partners or developing new collaborations across colleges, schools, and Interdisciplinary Research Institutes to pursue large interdisciplinary proposals, GTScholar will be a great resource.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe electronic system designed to reduce the amount of time faculty and researchers spend each year gathering information for annual activity reports, promotion and tenure packages, CV updates, and grant applications.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Centralized electronic data source getting more widespread campus use"}],"uid":"27299","created_gmt":"2014-08-07 14:20:52","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:16:52","author":"Michael Hagearty","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2014-08-07T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2014-08-07T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/gtscholar.gatech.edu\/","title":"GT Scholar Website"}],"groups":[{"id":"1214","name":"News Room"}],"categories":[{"id":"129","name":"Institute and Campus"}],"keywords":[{"id":"3853","name":"cv"},{"id":"1506","name":"faculty"},{"id":"64321","name":"GTScholar"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[{"id":"71871","name":"Campus and Community"}],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
