Profiles Research Networking SoftwareUsers Group Meetinghttp://profiles.catalyst.harvard.edu April 22, 2019
Group Profiles • Developed through a collaboration between Harvard Medical School and Boston University • Create separate pages in Profiles RNS for centers, labs, and other types of groups • Groups are linked to their members' profiles, and investigators are linked to their groups • Software introduced in Profiles 2.11 (6/5/18)
Group Profiles – Example Website https://staging.connects.catalyst.harvard.edu/NIEHS_Profiles/display/264735 Group home page Links to group's members Photos Member network visualizations Welcome, About, Contact All content is searchable Groups can include publications, news, videos, etc. Links to websites & other groups
Group Profiles – Scope and Limitations • What was it designed for? • Searching for people associated with the group (e.g., Find a statistician who works with Catalyst) • Adding visibility to the group (leverage the large number of visitors to the Profiles website) • Providing basic information about the group • Exploring connections between group members • Enabling faculty to list their groups • Obtaining data (via the API) about group members • What is it not meant for? • A pretty, customizable website (e.g., like Drupal) • To replace the website a group currently has
Group Profiles – Possible Use Cases • Centers, Institutes • Courses (instructors & students) • Core facilities • Grants or other projects • Clinical trials (management, recruitment) • Labs (link PIs to lab members) • Rare disease pages (link related faculty) • Administrative (department chairs)
Person List • Inspired by UCSF's List Maker • One private list per user • Add all people who match search results • Add individual people from their profile • List Maker actions: • Compose email • Download Contact Info (as CSV file) • Create Doodle Poll • Create Chatter Group
Person List - Actions • Manage List • View, filter (by institution or faculty rank) people • Delete individual or multiple people from list • Map View, Cluster View • CoAuthor network visualizations • Reports • Breakdowns by institution, department, faculty rank • Export Data (as CSV) • People (one row per person, email for Admins only) • Publications (one row per person-publication pair) • Connections (pairs of people who are coauthors)
Discussion Questions • Should users have one or multiple lists? • One list: simple UI for ad hoc functions • Multiple lists: my lab, my collaborators, etc. • Maybe a save/retrieve list function • Should lists from search results auto-update? • Should lists just be private Group Profiles? • Or, should there be a "create group" button? • Does anyone use "Active Networks"? • Should any part of Person List be public? • Thoughts on bulk email download?
