Dear Colleagues, MDPI is pleased to announce the release of SciProfiles, its social network platform for researchers and scholars.
The purpose of SciProfiles is aligned with MDPI’s broad mission to accelerate discovery and innovation by facilitating immediate access to research results and to serve scholars and communities by providing opportunities for academic networking. SciProfiles also ambitions to serve as a sustainable, transparent and community-driven research evaluation system aligned with the DORA principles (https://sfdora.org/ ). Through their scientific profiles, academics can highlight their contribution to research communities, and measure their impact on their field, beyond publication numbers and impact factors. SciProfiles is currently a beta version and will enrich to give researchers the possibility to highlight all of their contributions to science and their scientific communities as authors, reviewers, editors, conference organizers, conference panelists, conference keynote speakers, or even as lecturers or student mentors at their University. The components of popular community social networks, including follower/following, classical metrics, endorsements/ recommendations (https://www.mdpi.com/about/announcements/1690 ), comments (https://www.mdpi.com/about/announcements/1397 ) are or will be very soon highlighted in SciProfiles as open science contributions. To help increase the impact and visibility of articles and their authors to an appropriate audience, the platform offers a NewsFeed that includes recommendations of relevant content based on interests, publication history, saved searches or colleagues’ recommendations. SciProfiles’ avatars are now being integrated on several MDPI platforms, meaning that anyone will directly access researchers’ profiles from any of the MDPI platforms: MDPI’s journal publishing website: www.mdpi.com MDPI’s conference hosting and management website: www.sciforum.net MDPI’s preprints website : www.preprints.org MDPI’s knowledge sharing website : www.encyclopedia.pub MDPI’s books store: www.mdpi.com/books MDPI’s literature database : www.scilit.net SciProfiles aims to serve scientific communities at large. It can be embedded into third-party websites and also welcomes integration of data from third-parties.
