What a researcher profile website needs to do
List your current interests, selected publications with links, talks and teaching, and a short bio. Keep the language accessible to someone outside your field. A contact route for collaboration and media completes it.
Many institutions have rules for external sites, so we recommend checking yours first. We link each publication to its source and do not host papers unless you have the right to share them.
People searching for a researcher profile usually decide in seconds. Your site should answer the questions below before they have to ask.
