Scholars@Duke is the official Duke University system for presenting the academic scholarship of our faculty and trainees.

This initiative is valuable because it is Duke's public display of our academic profiles and a remarkable means for others, both within and outside of Duke, to connect in a era where collaboration matters.

To update your own profile

Follow these steps to edit and update your Scholars@Duke profile:

• Visit http://scholars.duke.edu.
• Search “People” for your name, and click on your profile.
• Click “Manage This Profile” to make edits.
• Note that you may designate someone else to manage and update your Scholars@Duke profile.

We recommend:

• In the Overview section, write a description of your academic and scientific activities.
• Upload a recent photo (within the past three years). See below for assistance in getting a new photo made.
• Review your list of publications. Click over to the Elements system to approve new publications and make changes to your existing list. Elements also provides interesting analytics of your academic publications such as mentions on Twitter, readers on Mendeley or CiteULike, journal rankings and your paper’s citations, and a way to export your list by PDF including DOI links.

Get additional tips on updating your Scholars@Duke profile on this support page, where there are how to articles and video tutorials.

Faculty profile pages look best when you have a recent, professionally produced profile photograph.

Is your photo missing or more than 5 years old? If so, please update your photo at your earliest convenience.

If you have a recent studio photo, please send it to Courtney Sparrow.

If you do not have a recent studio photo, do the following:

• If you provide care to patients, Duke Consultation and Referral Center will pay for your photo. Please visit this link for more information on how to request a photo, and at the same time, plan to record a video message for your dukehealth.org profile. The video message can give patients a better understanding of your personality and treatment philosophy.

• If you are a full-time researcher in the Department of Pediatrics, please contact Courtney Sparrow for information on the next photo opportunity.

The consumer-focused DukeHealth.org is used by patients, referring physicians, and others to choose a Duke Health doctor and schedule appointments.

Providers who treat patients and with whom patients can make an appointment – faculty, residents and physician assistants – should have profiles on this site.
