Editing Hints

Edit your Profile as much as you want -- "commit changes to profile" merely saves the current changes you have made. You can go back into "Edit Profile" and continue to make any desired additions, deletions or corrections.

Longer entries, such as Research Abstract, may be more easily edited using a plain text editor like Notepad (Windows) or Text Edit (Mac). You can highlight an existing entry, paste it into your text editor, make edits, and then paste it back into the form field. Just make sure to delete the old text in the form field, then paste in your new text.

When you're done, do be sure to hit the "Commit Changes" button at the bottom of the page.

Image Upload

To upload an image saved on your computer, click on the "Browse" button to the right of "Upload image." A box will open up that will allow you to browse your hard drive to choose the saved image. When you hit the "Commit Changes to Profile" button at the bottom it will be uploaded into a temporary directory. Before it can be added to your profile, it will be inspected and possibly cropped to a smaller size.

Tips on Adding Titles (including roles in Research Units)

Faculty members usually have at least one academic title in a Department (in a School). But many also are members of one or more research units.

When you are editing your Profile, or creating it for the first time, remember to include your participation in Institutes or other organized research units by creating multiple "Academic Positions." This will allow the search engine to find you as a participant of a research unit. Here's how:

  1. Scroll down to "Academic Position & Research Unit" and click "Add Position."
  2. If you want to show participation in a research unit, select a title, perhaps just "Researcher," that corresponds to your role. That title will appear automatically in "Display Title." Alternatively, using "Display Title," you can type in any title that is appropriate. Faculty Profiles accommodates all ancillary titles, including those related to external service to government, government agencies, boards, or publications. Government advisory roles, for example, Congressional testimony, also may be listed in Other Experience.
  3. For your main academic position(s), select a School, and a department. For a role in a Research Unit, instead of the School, select "Research Centers and Institutes." The box beneath (that usually lists departments) offers a list of the Centers, Institutes, and other recognized Research Units.
  4. Click "Commit Changes to Profile." This saves additions and changes, but you aren’t really committed to anything. Keep adding as many titles or changes as you like.

Most changes appear in your profile immediately. Photos don’t show up for a day or so.
