Scholarly has had a busy summer, so we've been laser-focused on bringing new customers onto the platform. July at Scholarly was all about accelerating data ingestion, laying the groundwork for big-ticket integrations, and smoothing out everyday workflows. Below is a whirlwind tour of what shipped last month. (Missed the June edition? Catch up here.)

Data Import Tooling

• Scholarly Engineering built a suite of new tools for ingesting data precisely.
  Spin up (and re-run) complex data loads in a few clicks—perfect for testing transformations before pushing to production.

• More flexible employee IDs
  Profiles can now carry multiple identifiers, unlocking smoother feeds from HR and SIS systems that use more than one ID scheme.

Easy Switching from Competitors

• Internally, Scholarly now has new import tools for one-click imports from Watermark Faculty Success and Interfolio Faculty180.

• Scholarly introduced a Watermark Faculty Success-compatible API to make swapping in Scholarly to power public profiles a cinch.

Publication Matching – Smarter, Faster, Automatic

• Probabilistic matching algorithm
  A brand-new engine reconciles works from multiple different sources, including ORCID, with striking accuracy. This removes hours of manual review time for faculty members.

• Richer ORCID sync
  Expanded metadata fields (ISSN, DOI, and more) flow straight into Scholarly, ready for reporting and CV exports.

Public API – Foundations in Place

• First endpoints live
  Scholarly's API is now live for customers. This includes a few endpoints, along with webhooks to enable near-realtime communication with other system.

• Built for scale & safety
  Idempotent requests and strong validation rules mean you can automate without fear of duplicate records or partial writes.

Faculty Activity Grids – More Context, Fewer Clicks

• Date-range filters
  Slice enormous activity sets by semester, fiscal year, or any custom span—instantly.

• Profile extras, surfaced & editable
  New inline editors make it easy to showcase (and correct) custom profile fields without admin overhead. After faculty enter information, this data can be surfaced through the API on public directories.

Reliability & Performance – Under the Hood

• Extra capacity online
  New application servers add redundancy ahead of the busy fall term.

• Workflow polish
  Fixed display quirks in point calculations, eliminated a handful of errors, and reduced page-load times across key dashboards.
