Yetanotherdegree Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Are you on academia.edu? Do you think there's any reason to sign up? I've noticed that when I google potential POIs or students ithe programs I'm considering, a number of them are on academia.edu Worth doing?

cadences Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Well, with an academia account, you can download any article that has been uploaded by fellow academia members...and there are quite a few very decent scholars among them! I just downloaded some of Annette Reed (UPenn)'s stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ἠφανισμένος Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) I think it's worth having a profile if only because results from academia.edu show up relatively high in searches (for, say, your name). It's in the top five results for my name plus a word related to the field. Even if all you do is put up your CV and a link to your own site or departmental page, it makes you that much easier to find. I've also found interesting papers through the research interests I follow that I probably would never have seen otherwise.
