Find Expertise and Collaborators Connect with RTRN Scientist Directory

RTRN Profiles

    Profiles is a tool to speed the process of finding researchers with specific areas of expertise for collaboration and professional networking.  Profiles is a federated web application  that uses the VIVO ontology, which standardizes researchers information for sharing and allows different institutions to “talk” to each other through federated queries, enabling networks to extend beyond local collaborations while protecting institutional data.  Profiles is the support application for the new and improved scientists directory, RTRN Profiles. 

    What are features of RTRN Profiles?

    RTRN Profiles imports and analyzes “white pages” information, publications, and other data sources to create and maintain a complete searchable library of web‐based electronic CV’s.  RTRN Profiles creates a “career snapshot” that combines directory information, user‐contributed content, and publications that are extracted from PubMed by the RTRN Profiles.  Built‐in network analysis and data visualization tools allow administrators to generate research portfolios of their institution, discover connections between parts of their organization, and understand what factors influence collaboration.

    What are the benefits of RTRN Profiles?

    • Find potential collaborators
    • Find potential mentors
    • Add new expertise to your team
    • Reveal new directions for your research
    • Share publications
    • Discover research connections
