Editing Your Profile Page

Viewing your profile

Your profile page can be accessed from the People List and various other pages (e.g. research group member lists). It is only visible to people outside the department if you have given consent (see below), so if you can't see yourself listed please log in first.

If you are logged in, you can also jump straight to your profile page from the "My account" link in the top-right corner of the site, or click your name > View profile in the top navigation bar.

Editing your profile

From your profile page, click the "Edit" link (near the top, below main site navigation). Alternatively, click your name > Edit profile in the top navigation bar from any page.

Profile visibility

As noted above, profiles are only visible to people outside the department if you have given consent.

You are able to give/revoke consent at any time, but please note that search engines and sites such as archive.org may retain historical copies, which is outside of our control.

Personal information

If you have an external website with more information about yourself and your academic work, you can link to it under Personal website. If you have uploaded HTML pages to your Personal Web Space, enter https://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/USERNAME/.

The Country field is not displayed - it is only used in an anonymised form for the maps and flags on the Diversity page and for reporting purposes.

For an explanation of the Alternative text field for your Profile photo, see the Website Accessibility Guidelines on Alt text.

Professional information

The Research groups field controls the groups (and subgroups) that appear on your profile, as well as the group membership lists you may appear on (if the group is using the standard members list - if not, please contact the group administrator).

Your Primary research group - used for internal processes such as Workload and Open Access reports - cannot be edited directly. Please contact @email if it is missing or incorrect.

Publications

Publications are automatically pulled from Symplectic and updated each night. You can choose how many to display - the default is 5 of each type.

To highlight specific publications (books and articles), simply mark them as favourites in your Symplectic profile (then wait until the following day to see the changes reflected on your profile).

If your publications are not displayed:

1. Check your publications have been entered in Symplectic and made public
2. Check the "Number of [articles/books]" fields in your profile are set to a number greater than 0 (the default is 5)
3. Check your SSO account is linked to your Maths account
4. Contact IT support for assistance if it is still not working

You can also manually enter a list of publications you would like to be displayed. This will be displayed in addition to the Symplectic feeds, or you can set the number of Symplectic publications to 0 to hide them.

Contact information

Please provide a non-ox.ac.uk email address that Maths IT staff can use for password resets or exceptional emergency communications. This will only be used if no suitable Oxford address is available. (You are advised to also register a non-Oxford address with IT Services.)

You can also provide an alternative postal address and telephone number (e.g. for your college), which will be displayed on your profile in place of the default departmental ones.

Changing Your Name

If you change your name, or it is displayed incorrectly, please contact IT Support.
