Setting up your Google Scholar profile
Academic researchers, Research Associates and PhD students in the School are represented through the University's Google Scholar page.
Creating a profile
- If you have a Google Scholar profile and you're not currently included, just add "Computer Science and University of Manchester" to your profile. You should then appear. Remember to add your photo.
-
If you do not already have a Google Scholar page, it can be set up very easily by:
- Go to Google scholar citations and sign in with your Google account
- Follow the steps 1 to 5 on the Google scholar help page.
- Add "Computer Science and University of Manchester" to your profile's affiliation.
- Add your photograph.
- Remember to make the profile public or nobody else will be able to see it. The default setting is *private*.
- Add co-authors using the help page above to create cross links to your collaborators in your profile.
Benefits
- You get an automatically generated publications page; just use the link on your home page.
- You can track citations to your own papers.
- Google has an alerting service for papers that may be relevant to you (based on your profile).
- It helps advertise your papers to the world; if they are easier to find it is more likely that people might read them.
- It can help make the School's reputation.
- You can download the Bibtex and upload that into eScholar (though only with 50 entry points at once).
