DPDS fosters the use of transformative technology to manage, preserve, and share digital scholarship in an increasingly dynamic and computationally-rich research ecosystem.
The Graduate Student Support guide provides an overview of our different types of support. Please don't let the name of the guide discourage you - if you are an undergraduate student, post-doc, or faculty member, this guide has useful information to support the research process.

Are you doing GIS research? Have you ever considered that your research might have a spatial perspective or angle that you would like to investigate? This research guide provides a great starting point for learning more about the GIS and geospatial resources available to you while at UCI.
Establishing a scholarly identity is essential for author control. By creating an ORCID iD, you will have a unique, persistent identifier that you own and control—forever. It distinguishes you from every other researcher across disciplines, borders, and time. You can connect your iD with your professional information—affiliations, grants, publications, peer review, and more. You can use your iD to share your information with other systems, ensuring you get recognition for all your contributions, saving you time and hassle, and reducing the risk of errors.

As you prepare to publish your research, whether it be a co-authored journal article, a chapter of your dissertation, or eventually turning your dissertation into a book, it is important to understand the publishing landscape.
Are you interested in Digital Humanities? Are you looking for ways to expand the reach of your research, collaborate with other scholars, or explore other formats of communication beyond the scholarly paper?
