  1. Analytics report on Researcher Profile Engagement

    Other than via approving deposited assets, we currently have no good way of knowing which of our researchers are actively updating their profiles. We recommend an Analytics report that would indicate the number of times researchers have viewed/edited their own profiles, as well as the most recent view/edit. This would help us identify researchers we could work with as ambassadors for the product as well as marketing to non-users.

  2. Related Researchers

    Our faculty requested the ability to have related researchers appear in their profiles. Other products offer similiar functionality (e.g., https://research.torrens.edu.au/en/persons/mifrah-ahmad/similar). Ideally, our faculty would have the ability to manually modify who displays in their list.

    Business need: Students often seek out faculty based on their research interest. Sometime the faculty member they want to work with doesn't have availability. This feature would allow the student to see other faculty working on related research.

  3. Move Activities date field so that when Activity is created or edited via the Portal is more obvious how to update

    When a researcher adds an activity via their profile it is not obvious where to enter the date. They need to know to click the pencil icon next to the title of the activity to add or edit the date. This is a problem for Researchers both when initially creating an Activity and if editing and existing Activity.

    My suggestion is to move the editing of Activity dates out of the title section of the Activity and instead put it on the main Edit Activity form. See attached mockup.

  4. Ability to reorder sections on the Researcher Profile Overview page

    We are using the Research Engagement field to indicate which faculty are open to speaking to the media. (We've labelled this "Media Availability.") This often appears at the top of the profile (e.g. when the researcher hasn't filled in the "Areas of Interest" field), and we would like to be able to move it down. Here is an example: https://scholars.csus.edu/esploro/profile/erin_kaplan/overview?institution=01CALS_USL

  5. Add media availability to researcher profile

    In partnership with our campus's communications office, we would like to be able to use the Researcher Profiles to easily identify faculty who are willing to speak to media on topics relating to their areas of expertise. This could be a simple "Media Availability" field: yes/no.

  6. Allow researchers to reorder Members and Member Organisations in Projects.

    In the Projects section of a profile Members and Member Organizations appear in the order they are added by the researcher. It is not possible for researchers to change the order once added without deleting and starting gain. Please allow researchers to reorder these fields in their profiles.
