We’ve just launched our newest release of the community platform, with a substantial impact on how you can use the platform for future research collaboration. You can now find relevant scientific publications authored by our community members, which will help all of us to find relevant partners and get inspired for future research projects.
Via the new Publications page, you can browse and filter publications per theme or per SDG. Use for example the filter ‘SDG1’ and you can find relevant publications on reducing poverty. You can click on the publication title to go directly to the full article. Moreover, you can click on the name of the author, which will lead you to his/her profile on the community platform. You can find a contact button there, that will send a message directly to his/her work e-mail. This might become a starting point for future collaboration!
We have retrieved the publications via ORCID. Currently, up to six publications have been added to a researcher’s profile. We selected these to reflect the most recent, open access and impact-related work of that researcher. This is why some researchers have no or limited publications on their profile, or why you might see publications other than the ones that you might expect. We indexed the SDGs and research themes via OpenAlex.
You can choose to edit or unpublish your own publications by logging in, going to your profile and clicking on ‘manage publications’. Or go directly to My Publications. In case you don’t have your ORCID connected to your profile, you can go to ‘update profile’ after logging in and fill the field 'ORCID'', or you can use the Single Sign On functionality of ORCID for logging in.
Currently we are working on other methods to extract publications, so that more information can be added to profiles. But we’re hoping that this release already makes you excited to work towards new collaboration opportunities and helps you find the right match for your next project! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact the community manager!
