Profiles are the primary way to showcase your expertise and your work. Your profile page will be the top result when colleagues, potential grad students and reporters search for you. It also acts as a hub for visitors to see links to your lab pages, ResearchGate profile, CV and book websites.
Available fields
The profile page is database driven. There are a limited handful of data and file fields to use. The available fields cover most needs. There is also a “spotlight” field that can include content not available in other fields. Unfortunately, their location on the page cannot be changed.
Minimal profile page
These fields should be considered the minimal amount required for a profile page:
- Preferred name with all your credentials such as Ph.D.,ScD, MPH, etc.
- Contact info
- CV
- Short paragraph description of general and/or current research interests
- School, program or other affiliations
- Related websites or other links – such as lab website, ResearchGate, Twitter, Google Scholar
Optimal profile page
In order to maximize your profile page, please make sure you also include:
- Biography – short paragraph about your professional journey to CPHHS
- Personal interests – you are more than your work persona.
- In the news – are you mentioned in specific media articles?
- Spotlight – we can highlight recent books or other content.
External profile services
Consider using Google Scholar Citations or ResearchGate, both of which provide a simple way for authors to keep track of article citations. You can check who is citing your publications, graph citations over time and compute several citation metrics. ResearchGate is a great way to support and build your graduate students’ professional profiles.
- ResearchGate example profiles include Brian Flay, John Schuna, Megan MacDonald, Megan McClelland, Don Jump and Molly Kile.
- Google Scholar Citations profiles examples include: Brian Flay, John Schuna, Sam Logan, Megan MacDonald, Perry Hystad, Harold Bae and Megan McClelland.
- If you have to choose one service, choose ResearchGate.
- Let Alan know if you have created a profile on either so he can add it to your college profile page.
