UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Arthur W. Page Center for Integrity in Public Communication has launched an online research directory to chronicle the innovative work conducted by its scholars and record the significant outcomes of their work. The database highlights the wide range of expertise among Center scholars and showcases the breadth of research the Center has funded over nearly two decades.
The Page Center is a research center in the Donald P. Bellisario College of Communications focused on promoting ethics and integrity in public communication. Since 2004, the Center has supported more than 300 scholars from colleges, universities and organizations around the world with more than $1 million in research funding. The new Scholar Research Directory will be a comprehensive database of the hundreds of articles, publications, presentations and research awards these projects produced.
“This initiative was important to us because funding the projects is one thing but understanding and learning from the results is ultimately what’s important,” said Denise Bortree, Page Center director and associate dean for academic affairs at the Bellisario College. “This database is a step forward in organizing those results so they can guide future work by our scholars.”
Users can browse by research topic or search by author or keyword. Studies are ordered by research call. Each project will feature information about the study and, when applicable, include links to the scholars’ published work.
