Researcher profiles
Researcher profiles are used to identify you and your research outputs. They typically group together information such as your name, affiliation, details of your publications, research interests, funding details or scholarly achievements.
Up-to-date researcher profiles can:
- Increase the visibility and accessibility of your research outputs
- Assist researchers, students, journalists, potential collaborators, and funding bodies to find you and your publications
- Provide access to metrics and quality indicators to support applications for grants or promotion
- Provide visual tools to showcase the impact of your research.
