Scalar

Getting Started

Creating a Scalar Account

Before beginning with Scalar, you will need to request a "Scalar Registration Key". Fill out the form using an email associated with an academic or memory institution.

Once you have received the key you can register for an account. 

Creating a Book in Scalar

When you log into your Scalar account, you will land on a page with your books on the left and featured books on the right. In the top right of the screen select "Dashboard."

On your dashboard click on "Create new book."

A menu will pop up with fields for Title, Subtitle, and Genre.

  • The Title field must be filled out, but the Subtitle is optional.
  • Genre in Scalar only determines how the project is labeled and does not change any of Scalar's functionality. The Genre can be a Book, Article, or Project. 

Click "Create" when you've finished.

You can find the newly created book under the "Books" column on your Dashboard.

If you hover your mouse over the Book, you will see a "Dashboard" button appear. It contains all the options and settings for your book.
