Ensuring your Google Scholar profile is up to date will ensure that your name and your publications appear when searched.
TO DO (5-10 minutes):
Ensure your affiliation is Johns Hopkins University, Bloomberg School of Public Health
Select articles you’ve written to show on your Google Scholar profileEnter your affiliation as your title (e.g. Associate Professor of Epidemiology, Medicine & Oncology) followed by, “Bloomberg School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins University.”
Use your .jhu email to verify your affiliation. Your email will not appear publicly.
List your areas of interest. Choose succinct, relevant words to your area of research, as these will appear as linked labels on your profile. Consider reviewing colleague profiles and reviewing their areas of interest when creating your labels.
Link your faculty web page as your homepage.
On the next page, you'll see groups of articles written by people with names similar to yours. Add all articles that you have written; keep in mind your articles may be in several different groups, and some groups may occasionally include articles by several different authors. If you publish under several different names, you may need to do several searches to add all your articles.
Once you're done with adding articles, it will ask you what to do when the article data changes in Google Scholar. You can either have the updates applied to your profile automatically, or you can choose to review them beforehand. In either case, you can always go to your profile and make changes by hand.
Finally, you will see your profile. This is a good time to add a few finishing touches - upload your professional looking photo, visit your university email inbox and click on the verification link, double check the list of articles, and, once you're completely satisfied, make your profile public. It is now eligible to appear in Google Scholar when someone searches for your name!
*NOTE: Are you receiving notifications you have two Google Scholar profiles under one name? You might have created multiple profiles using different emails. If applicable, delete the profile created with a non-JHU email. With further questions, please contact the Welch Informationists.
