University of Texas at Austin is advancing how institutions can surface, assess, and support research outputs beyond traditional publications—like datasets and software.

The presentation highlights an automated, scalable process for identifying and analyzing these outputs across platforms and APIs, providing a fuller picture of research activity at UT.

An amazing first full day at #CIRPA 2024 in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Great presentations and conversations and plenty to take back to our institutions. #CIRPA2024 #InstitutionalResearch

I can't believe that the CIRPA 2024 conference is almost here. I'm really looking forward to seeing friends and colleagues old and new in Fredericton.

#introduction hi to everyone on this server and friends and neighbors. I’m a once-academic #linguist, I do #higherEd #institutionalResearch and data things, I am into #socialism, and most importantly I am a #musician playing bass and guitar and things in #jazz, #metal, #prog, #country and #americana contexts in #newOrleans and elsewhere.

I’m already enjoying Mastodon more than the bird site and happy to see new and familiar faces here. I’m probably just gonna post bad jokes like I did there.
