Create a new Researcher Profile API that returns the Researcher Profile as a complete entity
Please create a new Researcher Profile API that returns the Researcher Profile as a complete entity. That is, it returns the contents of the Overview (including the profile URL), the Output, the Projects, and the Grants(?) tabs.
1) It would be great to have all of this information returned in one API; and
2) You currently have to filter the Assets API by "Shown in profile: Yes" in order to mimic the display in the Researcher Profile; and
3) Projects (and future Grants?) information is not currently available via API.Thanks,

Ability to customise grant labels
When selecting investigators to add to a grant, the options are PI (Principle Investigator) or CI (co-investigator). We'd like to be able to customise the labels for these fields.
This is especially confusing in Australia where our national funding body (Australia Research Council) uses the opposite abbreviations so we often choose the wrong one and would like to be able to update the Esploro labels to make: Chief Investigator (CI) and Partner Investigator (PI).

Viewer for files in Activies and Projects
When files are added to Activities or Projects in Esploro there is no option to view the file in the portal. We suggest to add a File Viewer to display the files in Activities and Projects. This functionality already exist for Output and would be very helpful for Activities and Projects as well. Otherwise it will serve more as a repository for the files.

Include asset status (provisional or approved) in Author Matching Report
When using the Author Matching Report to approve individual researchers on records that were imported via smart harvest, we would find it very useful to be able to distinguish the asset status -- that is, to be able to tell if the asset is still provisional or if it is approved. If we approve one author on an asset, and then create an Author Matching Report it is useful context to know that there is a local co-author. It is also helpful to know there is no local co-author for authors that would typically write with other people at our…

Add Thesis dc Field to OAI Output
Add the <dc:type>Thesis</type> to identify theses.
Theses are frequently searched for by our Research Repository users and this would make them more discoverable.
Thank you

Enhance Smart Expansion via Bibtex by adding CDI auto population job
When importing records via Bibtex files, records are created but fail to sync with the journal details like Peer Review and Open Access status. When you open the record, both fields are marked as unknown but when you "refresh" the journal name, it seems to retrieve the data necessary to populate these fields. Is it possible to create a separate or subsequent CDI auto population job that matches and updates the journal information for any Smart Expansion via bibtext job so that these don't have to be fixed manually by going to each assert?
Even if there was an intermediary…
2 votesHi Nancy,
I verified and indeed we do not check peer review via Alma CZ. In principle could be done and I accepted the idea but I cannot commit to a timeline.
I would like to ask you how often you use the SE via Citation Lists and in which scenarios.
Thanks

Ability to bulk update the name of researchers. Currently, we can move asset to a researcher, but if we want the same name variant in all their assets, we need to manually modify it in each asset record.
While moving the assets to a single researcher seems enough to display all the researcher's publication under their profile, it's problematic for the feed to Altmetric Institutional as Altmetric takes the name from the assets.
In addition, academics want to see a consistent name variant throughout their asset records.
We tried to update the author name for a number of assets for…

Add research topics at "add researcher" step within record
When a researcher is incorrectly matched, we often have to create a new non-affiliated one in the record. We can add their affiliation, but we can't add research topics. If the name is common, we have to look them up by researcher and add the research topics.
It would be more efficient to add research topics (as keywords) during this step.
