Profiles and following
Public researcher pages with publications, metrics and badges; follow colleagues and control who sees what.
Your public page
Name, credentials, position, institution, location, bio, research interests, methods, languages and links, plus impact (publications, citations, h-index, projects, collaborators) and badges computed from your activity (collaborator, prolific researcher, highly cited, rising scholar, mentor, peer reviewer, community builder, ORCID linked).
Who can see it
| Setting | Audience |
|---|---|
| Anyone with the link | Public, including people without an account |
| Signed-in researchers | Any account holder |
| Only you and people you work with | Members of projects you share |
Open-to flags (collaboration, mentoring, reviewing) are shown as chips so the right people reach out.
Following
Follow a researcher to be notified when they publish or join projects you can see, and to allow them to message you when your contact preference is “people I follow”. Followers and following lists are visible on the profile.
Publications and metrics
Claim papers by DOI or PubMed ID, by name or ORCID iD, or import them from ORCID. Citations, the h-index and the i10-index are computed from the claimed papers’ own citation counts (the higher of what OpenAlex and Crossref report for each paper); an author-level total is used only when no paper has a count yet, and every card says which. Refresh the counts from Settings → Publications.
A metric shown as “—” means the citation counts have not been fetched yet, not that the number is zero.
