How to Add Publications to My Profile?

There are several ways to add publications to your profile. Publications are retrieved from Pubmed, Swepub, GUP, and Researchweb's own publication database.

It is important that you start by adding your work experience before adding your publications. These are linked together so that you can see where you were working when the publications were published/carried out.

  • Log in to Researchweb.
  • Click on the profile icon in the main menu and then profile, to access your profile/personal card.
  • Click on the "Work Experience" tab and then "Add new".
  • Fill in the details about your workplace.
