The Office of Faculty Affairs provides several options for sharing data with authorized personnel. Several self-service reporting options are also available.
dFac (short for “Duke faculty”) is a custom SAP application within the Duke@Work portal that supports the school and department administrators when managing the appointment, promotion, and tenure process. dFac operates in conjunction with iForms to track hires, promotions, leaves, education and training, tenure awards, evaluations, and named professorships for faculty and academic staff. More information about dFac is available on the Administrative Systems website. For technical assistance with dFac, please submit a help ticket.
Elements is a web application provided in collaboration with Duke Libraries to help Duke faculty and researchers document and manage their publication history for their own needs and to make publication information consistently available for use in professional profiles and institutional reporting. Elements also facilitates uploading and management of the full text of publications for archiving in Duke Library repositories, and where possible, for making publications available freely to colleagues, students, and the general public. Documentation about Elements, open access, and copyright is available in the Elements Help Guide. Our team hosts regular information sessions for both Elements and Scholars@Duke. To schedule a one-on-one meeting with one of our experts, please submit a help ticket.
This data warehouse is available to school-level data stewards to support the incorporation of faculty data into various applications and reporting tools. For information about database access, data usage policies, or query support, use our help form. To receive notifications about important data changes, join the FDR users mailing list. Access to the Faculty Data Repository (or FDR) is reserved for a subset of advanced users throughout the institution. Accessing the FDR requires pre-approval from your school data as well as a solid understanding of the dFac data elements. Technical support is limited, so you will also need the ability to set up your own database connection.
Scholars@Duke is a research discovery system featuring the research, scholarship and activities of Duke faculty members and academic staff. Scholars displays web profiles that summarize a person's roles at Duke and their connections with colleagues. For assistance, visit the Scholars@Duke Support site.
