Monitor Your Impact Metrics

Once you have created your account and your work has been viewed  or downloaded then you will receive an automated monthly email from Digital Commons, the creators of ScholarWorks,  sharing how many views and downloads your work has received. If at any time you want to see your views and downloads you can access your Author Dashboard by signing into your ScholarWorks account. You can monitor views, downloads, and users’ global locations using your Author Dashboard.  Digital Commons maintains the metrics which cannot be edited by library staff.
