| International Directory of Researchers Launches |
|
Academia.edu offers a visualized directory of academics from around the world working in all areas of research. Entries include the name of the researcher, the institution they are affiliated with, a listing of their research interests, and updates about their work.
The directory takes the form of a 'tree,' with each academic institution branching off into departments, which themselves branch off into listings of researchers within the department. Entries can also be sorted by research interests, allowing users to quickly identify others involved in specific fields.
Academics - including professors, post-doctoral researchers, and graduate students - can add themselves to the directory. Users can maintain their own entry with updates on their work and add other researchers as "contacts" to help track developments within their fields of interest.
To add yourself to the directory, visit www.academia.edu and find your university and department. If either are not yet included, you can add them to the directory.
