Personal profile

The personal profile in the Research portal exisits to create a clear picture of you as a researcher, your research areas, and your background. On this page you will find why you should update your profile and how to do it.

As an active researcher at Lund University you automatically have a visible profile page on Lund University's research portal. The personal information on the profile page is taken from Lucat. In addition to this, Lund University has made a decision that all researchers must also post:

  • picture
  • subject words that describe the research area (primarily subject words according to UKÄ but also free ones)
  • a description of your own research field in Swedish and English (under the heading Research)

Updating your profile also helps outsiders, such as researchers from other universities or funders, to find relevant information about you.

You can read more about the faculties' local recommendations on our page:

How to update your profile

Start by logging into LUCRIS using your Lucat ID. Click on the ‘Edit profile’ button (placed below your picture) you can update your personal information.

Illustration on where to Edit profile in LUCRIS.

You can add a photo, a description of your research and handle some of the portal settings such as Fingerprints and collaboration maps.

Visibility in the Research Portal

Of the personal information contained in LUCRIS, the following will be visible in the Research Portal:

  • First and Last Name
  • Profile photo
  • Images added to the gallery
  • Links (such as (Linked in or Google Scholar)
  • All information you add under Profile information (called Curriculum and research description in English)
  • UKÄ classification
  • Your ORCID iD

By clicking on ‘My public profile’ in LUCRIS, you can visit your profile in the Research Portal. When you have made changes to your profile information, these take effect immediately. Sometimes, however, it can take a while before the changes are visible in the portal.

There are certain parts that can be hidden from view in the Research Portal. You change the visibility in LUCRIS. What can be controlled is the visibility of:

  • the map showing external collaborations
  • the fingerprints
  • your internal affiliations

You can also select research outputs to appear as highlights on your portal page.

FAQ about the Personal profile

Here are some frequently asked questions about the personal profile. If you cannot find the answer to your question we ask that you contact the LUCRIS support.

If you can't log in it is often due to that your are missing a so called 'Verksamhetsroll' in LUCAT. Please contact your local LUCAT-administrator to check this or contact the LUCRIS-support.

All employee with a "verksamhets roll" in LUCAT connected with research should automatically have a visible profile in the Research portal, if not please log in to LUCRIS, edit your personal profile, at the end of the form change the visibility to 'Public'.

As a researcher at Lund University, you can link your ORCID iD to LUCRIS. If you don't have an ORCID iD, you can create one. The connection goes through Lucat. Read more on our page about ORCID:

The same requirements apply to guest researchers as employed researchers at Lund University. For example, all research output that you publish when you are affiliated with Lund University must be registered in LUCRIS. An advantage for you is that if you leave Lund University, you can extract the information you entered in LUCRIS in different formats, to reuse in other systems.

Yes! You can add alternative names in your profile, click 'Edit profile' and enter the names under 'Add name variant'.

On the personal profile in the Research Portal, there are ‘collaboration maps’ (also called network) with external parties and ‘Fingerprints’, a type of search layer that makes it possible to find related information in the system based on automatically generated keywords.

 

What are Fingerprints?

Fingerprints are automatically generated keywords. The keywords are taken from, for example, publications and researchers' presentation texts. The words are put together in so-called ‘concepts’, which are matched against different topic lists.

The purpose of the Fingerprint function is to make it easier for visitors on the Research Portal to find relevant research at Lund University. The Fingerprints are not based on an exact science. Your Fingerprint will change over time, for example when new publications are linked to your profile. The technology behind the actual creation of Fingerprints, including the dictionaries of subject terms that lie behind them, is also continuously developed.

It is possible to change and improve your Fingerprints, but we don’t recommend spending too much time on changes, as the function is still being tested and will be evaluated before it is decided whether it should remain.

Improve your Fingerprints

  • ensure that research output in English has an English title and an English abstract. Remember to use the language flags up in the corner so you enter in the right place!
  • make sure to have descriptive text also in English on your personal profile page under the heading ‘Research’, update it if necessary. Try to come up with words that describe your research in a good way.

 

Remove Fingerprints:

1. On the personal profile page, click on ‘Edit profile’:

Illustration on where to Edit profile in LUCRIS.

2. Select ‘Fingerprint’ in the left menu

3. Click out the words or entire word lists that you want to remove.

4. Click on the blue ‘Save’ button at the bottom of the page.

What are collaboration maps?

At the bottom of your personal profile page in LUCRIS is what is called ‘Research network’. It provides different graphics of your networks based on the information contained in LUCRIS. More information in the system provides better network graphics.

Illustration of the Network part in the personal profile page in LUCRIS.

The Research Portal also presents the networks and a map of external collaborations over the past 5 years, based on information from research outputs and projects.

Remove collaboration map

If you do not want the collaboration map on your profile in the Research Portal, you can remove it via your personal profile page in LUCRIS.

1. On the person profile page, click on ‘Edit profile’.
