What are skills?

Skills describe the expertise, methods, and techniques you use in your research and help identify specialists in specific fields. We use them to recommend content relevant to your work, so it’s important to keep your skills up to date. You can also endorse researchers in your network to recommend them for their skills and expertise.

  1. Go to your profile’s Infotab
  2. Click the pencil icon to the right of Skills and expertise
  3. Type the skill you want to add or pick from our suggestions
  4. Click Save to add your skills to your profile.

You can add up to thirty skills to your profile. 

Removing skills from your profile

Removing skills from your profile is quick and easy:

  1. Go to your profile’s Infotab
  2. Click the pencil icon to the right of Skills and expertise
  3. Click the x next to the skills you want to remove
