Other grants may be added. Published articles available in PubMed are listed automatically. Other publications may be added.

Networks are generated from research available in PubMed. Research concepts/topics based on PubMed MeSH terms Co-authors from the same institution Co-authors from external institutions Researchers working on the same topics

Many researchers also have Clinical Trials information based on trials listed in clinicaltrials.gov.

Why are there missing or incorrect publications in my profile? How can I correct this?

• UCLA Profiles uses a complex mix of names, institution, and publication information to find your publications in PubMed's repository. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to match all articles in PubMed to Profiles authors with complete precision and accuracy.
• People who have common names, who published under multiple names or whose articles were written while at other institutions are most likely to have incomplete publication lists.
• You can make corrections by searching PubMed from within Profiles to add, edit or delete publications. By curating publications manually, you are helping UCLA Profiles to identify which concepts and co-authors are correctly associated with your profile, thereby increasing the likelihood of finding the right publications on subsequent attempts.
• NOTE: If you would like to add publications, grants, clinical trials or other examples of your scholarly activity that are not in MEDLINE/PubMed, NIH Reporter, or clinicaltrials.gov, you can add them manually in the appropriate section, or in your Overview.

Can someone manage my profile page for me?

• Yes. Proxies are people within Profiles who can edit other people's profiles on their behalf. For example, faculty can designate their assistants as proxies to edit their profiles. If you have a profile, then one or more proxies might be assigned to you automatically by your department or institution. You also have the option of designating your own proxies by signing in and going to Manage Proxies in the edit menu. Proxies do not need to have profile pages themselves.
• To request a Proxy, please follow these brief, step-by-step directions. Please anticipate up to 2 weeks for a Proxy to be added.
• Allowable proxy email addresses must be from UCLA domains. e.g. @mednet.ucla.edu, @connet.ucla.edu, @lifesci.ucla.edu, etc.
