Publications and CV
Claim your papers, keep metrics current, and generate an academic CV, NIH biosketch or NSF biographical sketch.
Claiming publications
Paste DOIs or PubMed IDs, one per line, or import everything from ORCID. Metadata comes from the backbone sources and is de-duplicated into canonical works, the same records used in project libraries. Each paper's citation count is fetched as it is claimed, so your metrics are right straight away.
Finding yourself by name: type your name as it appears on papers — or your ORCID iD, which matches exactly one author record — and, if you share a name with other researchers, your institution. Each candidate shows its affiliations, how many works and citations it has, its h-index and i10-index, what it works on, and why it was ranked where it was.
Metrics and refreshing them
Total citations, the h-index and the i10-index are computed from your claimed papers' own citation counts — the same definition the public profile, the Portfolio tab and the CV use. Each paper keeps the highest count reported by OpenAlex or Crossref, so a refresh can never quietly lose citations.
- Claim your papers (ORCID import, by name, by title or by identifier).
- Press Refresh citation counts to re-read every claimed paper from OpenAlex and Crossref; the card shows when this last ran and how many papers have a count.
- Press Recompute metrics to rewrite the stored h-index, i10-index and totals from those counts. Linking your ORCID also brings in the citations-per-year series from your author record.
A refresh also repairs venues: a paper listed under a repository (figshare, bioRxiv, medRxiv, SSRN, Zenodo…) is re-labelled with the journal that published it, and a paper that only exists in a repository says so explicitly rather than presenting the repository as a journal.
If the h-index reads "—", the citation counts have not been fetched yet. Refresh them; the profile never shows 0 for a number it does not know.
CV and biosketches
- Settings → CV & biosketch: enter education, positions, grants, awards and presentations once.
- Add a personal statement and synergistic activities for funders.
- Pick Academic CV, NIH Biosketch or NSF Biographical Sketch; preview updates as you save.
- Download as DOCX (editable in Word) or print to PDF.
Publications, identity and metrics are pulled from your profile, so the CV never drifts from the rest of your record.
Claiming from Discover and the portfolio
- Discover → Claim publications finds your author records by name, ORCID iD or institution (also alternative name forms and affiliations) and lets you claim papers in bulk; already-claimed papers are marked. Papers without a DOI can be added by identifier under Settings → Publications.
- Your profile's Portfolio tab turns the claimed works into a one-page research portfolio — identity, publications, citations, h-index, i10-index, active since, publications by year, where the work appears, frequent co-authors, most-cited papers and the full list — with Print / save as PDF and a copyable public link. It reads from the same claimed works as your CV.
