  • Appointments and other faculty data come from dFac, Duke's faculty system in SAP.
  • Publications come from Elements, a tool that aggregates publication metadata from bibliographic sources like Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, arXiv, RePEc, and others. Publications can also be added manually. 
  • Open Access publications are easy to add to DukeSpace, Duke Libraries' open access repository, making them freely available to colleagues, students, and the general public, which increase their impact.
  • Datasets deposited with Duke’s Research Data Repository will be added by Duke Libraries to Elements. (For questions about depositing your data here at Duke or elsewhere, contact datamanagement@duke.edu.)
  • Grants are loaded from Duke's Sponsored Projects System (SPS) maintained by the Office of Research Support. Grants can also be added manually in Scholars.
  • Courses come from DukeHub, Duke's course management system.
  • Other automated content includes "In the News" stories from the Office of News and Communications and "External Relationships" from the Conflicts of Interest system.
