The University of Oklahoma has contracted with Community of Science (COS) to provide a web-based expertise system for tenured/tenure-track faculty members and staff on permanent appointment. The OU Expertise System is available to all COS member institutions and corporate subscribers to track current research and scholarly activities and to find potential collaborators and peer reviewers. This database is also available to all .edu and equivalent domains internationally to facilitate collaboration and peer networking.

To Add Your Profile: Before adding your profile, please check the OU Expertise System to see if your profile is already in the database. Many faculty members were added when Research Information Services uploaded their Faculty Interest File profiles to the new database. If your profile is in the database, you will need to update, not add.

To Update Your Profile: You will need your Username and Password to login and update your profile. If you need your Username and/or Password, please e-mail Tena Smith. Please contact Tena by e-mail or in person only (for security reasons) to obtain your Username and Password.

Non-participating members: You may find information about specific OU faculty research interests by sending an e-mail message to Tena Smith , OU's Community of Science liaison.
