Q: What does tagging a
paper mean?
Tagging
a paper means creating a link between a published paper and an innovation or
research. The paper should be related to the innovation or research it is
tagged to.
Q: Should my paper be related to the innovation
or research I want to tag it to?
It
should be related to a certain degree. Please use your best judgment to decide
this.
Q: Whose paper can I tag?
You
can tag primarily your own papers (i.e. your name is in the list of authors), but also your peers’ papers, provided you have
their consent.
Q: What is the benefit of tagging papers for
me?
Tagging papers creates links between your papers, innovations and other published
research. It will enhance visibility of your research, show your translational
impact, and help communicate it with other scientists and potential employers.
Q: Should I upload files
of the papers in order to tag
them?
Using
your profile, you can monitor your progress, identify your impact areas, and
publish your profile for increased visibility. Check your profile to learn more
about this.
Q: What kind of research can I showcase?
You
can showcase either published research, or research in progress. When
showcasing research in progress, you should NOT disclose any sensitive details.
You can also showcase your conference posters.
Q: What are the next steps after
tagging my papers and sharing my research?
The
SciStart
platform is expanding with more innovations, research and functions. You can check back to
monitor your progress, discover more innovations to tag your papers to, and
thus increase your visibility. We are in the process of creating more functions
