Managing Directory Publications

The UF Health Directory has four main channels for sourcing publications:

  1. PubMed: Relying on a disambiguation service from Harvard, we automatically import publications once a week and match them to faculty and staff based on a number of attributes including: name (several variations), affiliations (past and present), publication journals, keywords, and even co-author networks
  2. VIVO: We also retrieve publication data from the UF VIVO research discovery tool. This service utilizes the Thompson-Reuters Web of Science subscription service, PubMed, and manual additions.
  3. ORCID: For faculty, staff and researchers with an ORCID iD on their profile, we automatically find and link publications associated with that ID. If those publications are published on PubMed, their PubMed IDs will be linked automatically too.
  4. Manual Entry: Faculty and staff can log into their Directory profiles and add missing publications, edit certain publications (ones they have previously added), and hide or delete publications

If the profile has a new publication added to it during our weekly imports, the profile owner will receive an email digest that reports on the new publications added to their profile. This email also gives them a convenient way to mark publications as ‘Not Mine’ or ‘Has Errors’, making it quick and easy to ensure newly added publications are correct.
