Interfolio and Academic Data
The Future of Scholarly Data Worldwide
Today, there are ever-expanding ways to connect information about academic work, funding, and impact. Interfolio is a leader in connecting high-profile data reporting with the full picture of a scholar’s journey.
Building everything with a “faculty first” mentality, Interfolio addresses simultaneously the needs of individual scholars and those of institutions and organizations.
Data and the Scholar
Interfolio intentionally treats the individual scholars who conduct academic work as the original source of truth about that work.
Whether in the context of research impact tracking, the full picture of the faculty lifecycle, or the academic job market, Interfolio understands that for reliable data, you have to engage the scholar where they are.
Data and the Institution
Interfolio recognizes that while it is scholars who create and disseminate knowledge, it is successfully-run institutions and organizations that make that work possible.
Interfolio’s approach at once benefits both the scholar and their organization.
Data and the Global Academic Community
Interfolio is a leader of the scholar-centric technology movement worldwide.
- We engage with millions of data records drawn from tens of thousands of distinct sources to catalogue the valuable scholarship taking place.
- We facilitate a full picture of faculty development through the acclaimed Faculty Information System.
- We enable the full impact of faculty to be showcased in easy-to-implement web profiles to demonstrate global reach of faculty work.
- And for over twenty years, we’ve served well over a million scholars through the widely adopted Dossier service for individual academics on the job market.
Partner Faculty Data Systems
Our goal is to make it possible to pull in data from virtually any existing source of academic information. In addition to widely relied-upon data sources like your campus ERP or SIS, or legacy data from any existing systems, we collaborate with a number of partners to provide a thorough picture of your faculty’s data. Here is a list of our existing data partners.
