• Any person with Hatch, McIntire-Stennis, Smith Lever, Animal Health funds must use Digital Measures instead of FAIR to report on their Impacts.

• Training continues with just a few sessions left. Don’t wait until the last minute! • Bring your REEport document to a face-to-face training and you’ll complete your report in the training!

CV’s – we are caught up on uploading faculty CV’s into Digital Measures (except for publications). Send your CV to dmcv@purdue.edu if you want us to upload it for you. Send the full document or a 5 year dossier. Publications—Two-step process:

• We are using Web of Science to update your publications on the web if you had no pubs in FAIR. If you had pubs in FAIR, those are the one’s you’ll see in Digital Measures.

• When we get your new CV, we will compare the Web of Science/FAIR upload to your CV and fill in anything that’s missing.

• OR you can go to the Intellectual Contributions portion of Digital Measures and upload your own pubs using Google Scholar. LET US KNOW YOU HAVE DONE THIS SO THAT WE DON’T ERASE YOUR WORK.
