When you upload a profile picture in LUCRIS, it should appear in your profile and in the Research Portal soon after.

In order for it to appear, you need to tell the system what type of image it is. In the drop-down list where you upload the image, select "Portrait".

In this video, we explain how you can check SDGs on your research outputs, personal profile, and projects.

All employee with a 'verksamhetsroll' in Lucat connected with research should automatically have a visible profile in the Research portal, if not please log in to LUCRIS, edit your personal profile, at the end of the form change the visibility to 'Public'.

As a researcher at Lund University, you can link your ORCID iD to LUCRIS. If you don't have an ORCID iD, you can create one. The connection goes through Lucat. Read more on our page about ORCID:

• ORCID

The same requirements apply to guest researchers as employed researchers at Lund University. For example, all research output that you publish when you are affiliated with Lund University must be registered in LUCRIS. An advantage for you is that if you leave Lund University, you can extract the information you entered in LUCRIS in different formats, to reuse in other systems.

• Entry requirements

Visibility

The choice beneath this heading in LUCRIS determines whether the person profile is displayed at all in the Research Portal or not. For a visible profile select: ‘Public - No restrictions’.

By using the function ‘Highlighted content’ you can showcase certain research outputs are visible on your personal page in the Research Portal.

Video: How to highlight publications

Please watch our instructional video on how to post ‘Highlighted content’:

Description: How to highlight publications

You can find the function by clicking on ‘Edit profile’ and looking to the left in the box that appears.

On the personal profile in the Research Portal, there are ‘collaboration maps’ (also called network) with external parties and ‘Fingerprints’, a type of search layer that makes it possible to find related information in the system based on automatically generated keywords.

What are Fingerprints?

Fingerprints are automatically generated keywords. The keywords are taken from, for example, publications and researchers' presentation texts. The words are put together in so-called ‘concepts’, which are matched against different topic lists.

The purpose of the Fingerprint function is to make it easier for visitors on the Research Portal to find relevant research at Lund University. The Fingerprints are not based on an exact science. Your Fingerprint will change over time, for example when new publications are linked to your profile. The technology behind the actual creation of Fingerprints, including the dictionaries of subject terms that lie behind them, is also continuously developed.

It is possible to change and improve your Fingerprints, but we don’t recommend spending too much time on changes, as the function is still being tested and will be evaluated before it is decided whether it should remain.

Improve your Fingerprints

• ensure that research output in English has an English title and an English abstract. Remember to use the language flags up in the corner so you enter in the right place!
• make sure to have descriptive text also in English on your personal profile page under the heading ‘Research’, update it if necessary. Try to come up with words that describe your research in a good way.

Remove Fingerprints

1. On the personal profile page, click on ‘Edit profile’:

2. Select ‘Fingerprint’ in the left menu

3. Click out the words or entire word lists that you want to remove.

4. Click on the blue ‘Save’ button at the bottom of the page.

What are collaboration maps?

At the bottom of your personal profile page in LUCRIS is what is called ‘Research network’. It provides different graphics of your networks based on the information contained in LUCRIS. More information in the system provides better network graphics.

The Research Portal also presents the networks and a map of external collaborations over the past 5 years, based on information from research outputs and projects.

Remove collaboration map

If you do not want the collaboration map on your profile in the Research Portal, you can remove it via your personal profile page in LUCRIS.

1. On the person profile page, click on ‘Edit profile’.

2. In the margin on the left there is a field called ‘Portal profile’:

3. Under ‘Collaboration map’ you choose whether you want the map visible on your personal profile page or not.
