Introducing the New SelectedWorks
Why SelectedWorks? Scholarship Showcase
Author Profile Get Started Now!
Rebuilt from the ground up, the new and mobile-friendly SelectedWorks offers innovative features and functionality. On the surface, we gave it a sleek and clean design with straightforward site navigation, as well as enhanced layout to highlight content. For the author, we made it easier to upload and manage their works by providing intuitive editorial tools and updates in real time.
SelectedWorks is the place to
post and share your work. At
its core, SelectedWorks is a
dynamic tool used by scholars
to promote their research;
it is specifically designed to
allow readers to easily discover
and read your work. Detailed
readership information and a
live download map are provided
via the Author Dashboard, your
own personalized reporting tool.
With author scholarship at
the forefront, SelectedWorks
highlights each article,
presentation, book, working
paper, etc., with a unique
card view and thumbnail
preview. Organize your works
under customized categories
unique to your research. New
multimedia display options
are also available, including
streaming media.
SelectedWorks not only
showcases your work, but
also gives you the opportunity
to tell readers who you are.
Acquaint visitors to your site
with an Author Introduction
and a dedicated About page
outlining your biography.
The new SelectedWorks is scheduled for release in Fall 2015, but you can
get started building your own SelectedWorks site now (and for free) by
visiting http://works.bepress.com.
You can also create your SelectedWorks site via your ExpressO

Select only the subject areas relevant to the topic of your paper—generally no more than three or four.
Author(s), Article Title, and Subject Areas are mandatory fields, though we strongly recommend including your cover letter and CV as well.
