The Manager of Publications has advised that emails requesting additions can be sent to sarah.heinzman@uwa.edu.au . Note: People need to ensure they are in the UWA Directory first - http://directory.uwa.edu.au/ - The entry needs to give their name and then concisely list 4 or 5 areas of research expertise in alphabetical order. Community of Science (COS) Research DatabasesCommunity of Science (COS) Research Databases COS offers: - A global funding opportunities database
- A funding alert email service
- Individual expertise profiles:
- you can create one for yourself and use it to generate a CV that can be accessed by others world-wide
- any-one world-wide with COS access can search the expertise profiles using keyword searches
Many UWA staff will have a COS profile already. If you do not, you are encouraged to establish one. Alternatively, you may wish to refine your profile, add new keywords, publications etc. Further information on COS, including instructions, can be found at: http://www.uwa.edu.au/page/15629.
