About Northwestern Scholars
What is NOrthwestern Scholars?
Northwestern Scholars is a searchable database of publications, grants, patents (coming in a few weeks), and additional scholarly accomplishments, updated weekly, spanning all disciplines at Northwestern.
Profiles, including "scholarly fingerprints" of each faculty member, are generated from keywords within the specific context. Northwestern Scholars allows you to see collaborations, research networks, and similarities of expertise, with co-authors and co-investigators. Profiles of core facilities are also included. Northwestern Scholars is part of several larger research networks, all searchable from within this tool.
