To get the most out of the Research Communities, we recommend that your profile is complete and up to date. Not only will this encourage other members to follow and engage with you through the Communities, but will also improve the visibility of your content. 

For a step-by-step explanation, please see the details below...

You can update your profile in the ‘Edit Profile’ section of your profile drop-down menu in the top right corner (under your profile photo).

To ensure that you have a complete profile, please check that you have added:

• your full name 
• current role title, affiliation, and location
• a profile photo
• a short intro in the ‘About You’ section; a chance to introduce yourself and your field of expertise and interests in a bit more detail

If you’d like for other members to be able to get in touch and connect with you outside of the Communities, we encourage that you also include:

• your email address
• your social media links
• a link to your personal or institutional webpage (if you have one)
• any other contact details you would like to share

Here’s an example of what a complete profile looks like:

If you have any questions about how to make your profile shine, please get in touch with the team and we’ll be happy to help.
