Why profile completeness matters
| Profile element | Why it matters for discovery and visibility | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Fields of interest | They help HORTUS associate you with topics, searches, and thematic communities. | Use consistent subject language and avoid overly vague terms. |
| SSD classifications | They add formal disciplinary structure and improve retrieval precision. | Use them carefully because they influence how others understand your domain position. |
| Expertise | They make your methods and competences visible in search, browse, and profile evaluation. | Keep them specific enough to guide real collaboration decisions. |
| Biography and affiliation | They provide enough context for someone who does not already know you. | Write for researchers outside your immediate institutional circle. |
| Public email visibility | It changes how directly others can contact you from the profile. | Use it only if you are comfortable with wider public contact. |
| Open to collaborations | This is a strong signal used by other researchers when deciding whom to contact. | Turn it on if you actively welcome outreach. |
| CV and publications | They provide evidence of scholarly work and support trust in your profile. | Keep them current enough to reflect your actual expertise. |
