If this guidance has been shared with you by a colleague please make sure that they have contacted the Digital Team at digitalsupport@derby.ac.uk to request a profile be created. You will not be able to access a profile until this has been requested via our service desk. |
Please write your staff profile in the first person and keep the tone friendly but professional. Here’s a good example.
...
For fields with written content you will see a word count aim shown. Use this recommendation sensibly - the aim of your profile is to provide an overview of you and your role, it doesn’t need to be reams and reams of information. If only some of the fields are relevant aim for the higher end of the word counts, if using all fields aim slightly lower.
Please bear in mind that this guidance has been created with our site visitors (users) in mind and it aligns with data that shows how many of these people are consuming content in short bursts, using mobile phones. It is for this reason that we dissuade from adding extensive lists of ‘recent conferences’ and ‘recent publications’ as we know that being confronted by large amounts of text does not provide the best website experience from a user perspective. Instead, we encourage pointing to sites such as Google Scholar, Research Gate, ORCID, etc for a full bibliography that users can peruse by choice.
We also advise keeping the area tidy by attaching hyperlinks rather than adding long strings of URL links (such as DOI numbers) alongside publications and any other written content. The publications/conferences list does not need to conform to the same standards as an academic bibliography. Website content should be organised with the user in mind.
...
Lastly, please ensure that any dates mentioned do not include “th” “nd”, “rd” or “st” after them in order to comply with our brand guidelines.
*We may edit your content to fit the guidance in this article if it is submitted without matching these recommendations*.
