Professional activities

Use myPublications to record information about your other research-related activities, such as:

• membership of editorial boards, funding panels, peer review colleges, academic or professional bodies

• journal reviewing and refereeing

• conference and event organisation

• presentations, invited talks, keynotes, and plenaries

• honorary and visiting positions or secondments

• prizes and awards

• media activity

• other public engagement activities

Recording this information consistently is helpful for our REF preparations, but it's also a useful record for your own CV, promotion applications, grant applications, and for funder-mandated systems such as Researchfish.

Add a professional activity

Professional activities can only be added manually. Go to My Profile > My Work > Professional activities and click the large + button. Choose the required type and enter as much information as possible.

Copy and re-use a professional activity

If you have previously created a similar record, such as the same presentation at a different event, then you can use that record as the basis for a new one. Simply find the record and click create copy to generate a new pre-populated record.
