Increase your visibility - Update your SCS researcher profile page

Sent on behalf of Dr Christine De Nardo, Manager, School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health

Many SCS researchers have a profile page within the SCS researchers web page.  These pages are a great way to showcase your research, especially for grant application purposes, being a one-stop-shop for all information regarding your research areas, graduate research projects and a link to your Pure profile.  

SCS researcher pages invite a lot of traffic, as these pages are widely used in all publications at the school and faculty level. As seen in the Google Analytics image below, there were 30,193 views over the last 12 months (overall, SCS website had 186,328 views in the last 12 months).
