Overview: Research Summary

Introduction

The Research Summary sub-category is where you may save multiple different research summaries, identified with relevant titles and descriptive keywords.

There is no restriction on the total number of entries you may add.
The text relating to the summary is entered into the rich text Summary field.
Each Research Summary entry requires a minimum of a Title and Keywords 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. It is possible to select which research summaries are displayed within which contexts. One can select multiple research summaries to appear within one CV. Similarly, the same research summary can appear in multiple CVs.

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.
