Creating a researcher profile on RaY

Not only is it possible to track downloads and 'top authors' using RaY's statistics page, as we wrote about last week, it's also possible to create an author profile page on RaY, which allows a YSJ author to display all their research outputs in one place, alongside an author photo. It looks pretty nice, doesn't it?

To create a profile page, first log in to your RaY account (your normal YSJ login will work). Your MePrints page has automatically become your RaY homepage. Click the 'Edit Profile' button to add any professional biographical information that you'd like along with a photo. Not only will you be able to upload your work easily from this page, you can track which of your outputs is most viewed and see your latest additions.

This page is an automatically updated public research showcase, and it will eliminate the need to manage and add to other publication lists you might maintain on other websites.

ILS will be offering further drop in workshops on RaY in the Autumn (schedule coming shortly!) but we're also available to do bespoke training at the departmental, program or individual level. Please be in touch if this might be useful to you. If you would prefer to get started on your own, we've created a few 60 second video tutorials and a handbook.
