I need a new web site.

The University is phasing out the use of OpenScholar over the next two years. As a result, no new OpenScholar sites are being issued. To review the current options for active members of the HGSE community, please review HUIT's guidance on web sites.

I am responsible for an OpenScholar site, but don't know how to modify it.

Because the OpenScholar platform is a living, open-source program, it is always changing; as a result, while we at HGSE are more than happy to help answer your questions, we do not offer our own trainings. Harvard Web Publishing, the Harvard-wide platform developer, is dedicated to making the platform easy to use and offers a variety of resources, which we summarize here.

We highly recommend their excellent in-person trainings, but there is extensive online documentation available here if you need to get started immediately.

The platform is designed to be intuitive, but we know problems can arise. We offer one-on-one consultations and remote support. Click here for an outline of our services or email us at openscholarsupport@gse.harvard.edu.
