Visualize Research Connections with DigitalCommons@CalPoly
Try The New Discipline Wheel
Each major discipline is represented by a color, so you can see how much scholarship a particular discipline has contributed.
Users and researchers can now explore serendipitous scholarship connections and visualize Cal Poly’s contributions within a wider scholarly context, thanks to enhanced navigation, discovery and browsing on DigitalCommons@CalPoly.
Enhancements include
- Discipline Wheel: A complete visualization of the faculty and student research and scholarship on DigitalCommons@CalPoly. Each major discipline is represented by a color, so you can see how much scholarship a particular discipline has contributed. You can even drill down to explore the content.
- DigitalCommons Network: This tool visualizes the content contributed by over 200 national and international higher-education institutions, including Cal Poly, and displays meaningful and explicit scholarship connections between the institutions. The DigitalCommons Network also contextualizes scholarship within the larger body of disciplinary literature.
- Follow: Users and researchers can be notified when new content has been contributed by a department, author or discipline. You can also easily manage the research updates.
