By default, your profile displays data from “People EPFL” (surname, first name, affiliation, email address, photo, etc.). However, you can add to and/or modify your Infoscience profile.

Each public profile shows: name, affiliation, email, Scopus ID, Researcher ID… (2)
At the bottom of the page, three tabs (3) are available:
- Scholarly works: displaying all publications in the form of a graph and a list (only if there are publications)
- About: displaying additional information (biography, research field, personalized URL, etc.)

The top of the page gives access to four additional actions (4):

You can edit different fields:

Infoscience uses your main affiliation by default, but you can add other positions.
Identifiers:

ORCID:
ORCiD (Open Researcher and Contributor ID), a persistent and unique numerical identifier, is used by Infoscience to make it easier to add to your list of publications.
The ORCiD identifier appears on your profile page only if you have made a prior declaration on https://orcid-integration.epfl.ch/. We strongly encourage you to register on ORCiD, for better management of your publications in general, and in Infoscience in particular.
For more information on the integration between Infoscience and ORCiD, please refer to the page Get an identifier.
Biography:
You can add a biography to your Infoscience profile.
Profile URL:
You can define a personalised URL, more readable than the one generated automatically by the system, by adding your name or initials for example.
*Grayed fields cannot be edited
If you do not yet have an associated ORCID identifier, you can use the “…” menu to set up your ORCID. Click on the button and link your Infoscience profile to your ORCID account.
