Scholarly Collections 

Scholarly collections serve to help students cultivate a narrative of how their research or scholarly work produced academic output by “grouping” scholarly works. Applicants can manage scholarly collections by clicking “Manage Scholarly Collections.” When managing scholarly collections, applicants can: 

• Create/add new collections. 
  • 100 character limit for title 
• Edit the name to a scholarly collection. 
• Delete a scholarly collection by clicking the trash icon. 
  • Removing a scholarly collection will remove its tags from the scholarly works entries to which it was assigned. This action does not delete the scholarly work entries themselves, only the tags and the collection created. 

To designate a scholarly collection: 

• Click the vertical ellipsis icon. 
• Select “Add to Scholarly Collection. 
• Click the name of the scholarly collection.  
• Once successfully added, you will see a chip with the scholarly collection title under the designated scholarly work.
