When other academics, prospective employers, friends, or even reporters are looking to find out more about you, they’re likely to search for you online. That’s why it’s crucial to have a good online presence.
Beyond providing information for potential collaboration and employment, your online presence can also:
Draw attention to your research
Make your published work accessible
Get you invited to speak, give media interviews, etc.
So how do you improve your online presence?
Start with your personal website. Use your .edu page if you can—if you can’t, a domain with your name is also acceptable. (Even if you don’t use it, you may want to purchase the domain with your name before someone else decides to play a practical joke.)
Be sure to include:
Contact Information
Current CV
Links to your published papers & working drafts
A short academic biography & photo
First impressions matter, and more and more often your online presence is your first impression. So: are you making a good one?
Cheers & Enjoy your day....
