Overview: Absence From Research

Introduction

The Absence from Research sub-category provides an area where you may list you various absences from research. Listings are displayed by date and identified with relevant keywords. There is no restriction on the total number of entries you may add.

Each Absence from Research entry requires a minimum of a Date From, Date To and Reason to be entered.

An assortment of relevant keywords can be entered in the Keywords field separated by space, comma or semicolon.

Existing entries may be edited / updated subsequently, if required, or deleted.

Entries may be manually sorted into a logical order which will be used when generating CVs and displaying on websites.

Each subsequent entry on this page will be listed in a new row and will be displayed alternately in a blue / black font colour. This formatting is only used within the Researcher Profile context and purely for ease of visual display of multiple entries.
