Scholarly reputation

Abstract

The aim of this literature review on scholarly reputation is: (i) to clarify the concept of scholarly reputation; and (ii) to identify the opportunities for scholars (and especially the early career ones among them) to build, maintain and showcase their reputation in today's increasingly open-values based, digital and networked environment. Thus, an in-depth discussion of the notion of scholarly reputation, inclusive of its multi-dimensional sub-constructs and antecedents, is followed by an attempt to establish how it is to be achieved and managed.
