Data sources and attribution
All scholarly data used on this site is provided courtesy of the following services:
- ORCID, for researcher identifiers and profile information.

How the data flows
University Scholarship combines researcher records, scholarly metadata, department research summaries, journal metrics, and controlled subject headings into a public research directory. AI assists with department summarization, classification, and matching; the resulting metadata is cached locally and remains available for review and curation.
