Overview: Working with keywords in Researcher Profiles

The keyword(s) used will typically identify the type of output for which specific text blocks are intended or assist with identifying or distinguishing between text blocks. In most instances the content of a text block is described by its title and the context in which it appears within the CV/profile and keyword(s) may be unnecessary.

However, keywords will be required to address three specific circumstances:

Keywords are used to...	Explanation	Examples
identify a text block which has a blank title	In some cases it will be useful or essential to omit a title for a text block. When this is done, keyword(s) become the only way to identify a particular text block when you wish to edit it or to select it for output to a CV or profile. The system therefore requires you to specify either a title and/or keyword(s) for each text block.	the keyword “Full” might be used to identify the version of a text block to be used in a full CV, the keyword “Short” could be used to identify the version of a text block to be used in a short CV. a discipline specific keyword could be used if CVs are being created for specific disciplines or to identify text blocks related to specific disciplines.
distinguish between text blocks which have the same title but different content.	In this case keyword(s): are the only way to identify a particular text block when you wish to edit it or to select it for output to a CV or profile. will normally be given names that identify the type of output for which specific text blocks are intended.
identify those text blocks which are intended for a particular type of output even where the text blocks have unique titles.	This could be for a short CV or a full CV, or for a range of discipline-specific web profiles E.g. the keyword “Full” could be used to identify all text blocks to be selected for output to a full CV which will make it simpler to select the set of text blocks required for this purpose.
