Research Profiles

Every researcher already has a profile scattered somewhere — a Google Scholar page, an ORCID record, a faculty bio three jobs out of date. Research Profiles pulls it into one place on Curie: who you are, everything you’ve published, and a living record of what you’ve contributed. Every author we’ve indexed already has one, so it isn’t empty on the day you arrive. And if you’ve never published, this is for you most of all — build your profile on Curie and let your contributions add up, PhD or not. The idea came from GitHub, and what an open record of work did for programmers; we want to extend it to every research discipline and make serious research more accessible to everyone.

Everyone’s already on it

Search for a person, open their profile, and their whole public record is in one place — not a trail of links to five other sites. Authors we’ve indexed are already here, whether or not they’ve claimed their Curie profile; every Curie user has a profile of their own. Claiming the profile we’ve built for you is coming soon. This is a humble start — we’ve all lived in Google Scholar and GitHub long enough to know the shape of a profile — and we mean to build a good deal more on top of it.

A year, at a glance

Your profile carries a heatmap of contributions across Curie — a quick read on when, and how much, you’ve been shaping the shared library. Reading and private-space work never count; only real, public contributions do.

The work, not the score

Below it, an attributed timeline records the work itself: a note you published, a version you landed on someone else’s file, a space you built. Your best contributions lead — no leaderboards, no points to chase.

Follow, so you don’t miss them

Follow anyone on Curie, and their new work surfaces on their profile for you to find — a published note, a paper they’ve recommended. It’s a plain way to keep up with the people whose contributions you don’t want to miss. No feed to comb, no algorithm deciding for you.
