Manage My Online Professional Presence

Create a profile to increase your visibility through this commonly used search tool. Link to your publications and track citations of your work.

While this professional networking platform is not exclusively research or academic-focused, it is commonly used in some fields. Create a profile to network with colleagues, highlight experience and skills, and search for academic and non-academic jobs.

If you use Mendeley as a reference management tool, explore the social networking components that allow you to create a research profile, connect with researchers who have shared interests, collaborate with colleagues in public or private groups.

ResearchGate and Academia.edu are social networking platforms for researchers. Both allow you to create a profile that summarizes your research, list and upload your publications, track engagement with your uploaded publications, and connect to researchers with common interests.

CAUTION: Before you upload publications, check your publishing agreements or publisher policies to make sure you are allowed to share on these platforms.
