Adding a Scholar

Scholar Sync Documentation

There are two ways to add a researcher, from Scholar Sync → Add New.

Search and import automatically

1. Type the researcher's first and last name and click Search & Add Author.
2. A table of matching candidates appears, each showing their name, number of works, h-index, and affiliations, so you can identify the right person.
3. Click Add next to the correct match. Their profile, publications, and co-authors are imported automatically.

Add manually

If a researcher can't be found this way — or you'd rather not rely on automatic matching — click Can't find the author? Add Manually. This opens a plain form:

• Full Name (required)
• Position / Title
• Affiliations
• Thumbnail Image
• Interests
• Citations Total, h-index, i10-index
• Author Page URL

Click Add New Author to save. If Full Name is left empty, or a field is too long to save, you'll see an error message above the form and your entered values are kept so you don't have to retype them.
