Check Out Enhancements to BU Profiles

There are several enhancements to BU Profiles, our research networking initiative launched in 2012. You can scan the Profiles of the 3,800 BU faculty, postdocs, students and others to find specific expertise and identify potential collaborators and mentors. See screenshots and more info at http://profiles.bu.edu/whatsnew/.

New Features

  • Each person’s membership in more than 15 Centers & Institutes is now included in Other Positions (1,200+ added).
  • Integration with NIH’s iCite bibliometric analysis is available using the Publications tab. iCite includes scientific influence, translation & public domain citation data, an individually sharable link, and the machine learning-based Approximate Potential to Translate score (APT).
  • Media Mentions, curated from BU Public Relations, BUSM and BMC Communications, now appear on each person’s Social/Media tab, as a right-hand side passive network, and on the main search page.
  • Boston VA Research award titles are now included in Research.
  • An updated Dimensions Badge on publications contains citation-related metrics to compliment the Altmetric Badge.
  • Preferred Gender Pronouns can optionally be displayed under graduate degrees.

Please use the feedback form to make suggestions or request a BU Profile.
