After a long and tedious journey, involving the clean-up of hundreds of pages and the rehaul of our IT infrastructure, we're happy to announce that the philosophy portal is "open for business" again!
Two Kinds of Profiles
It is possible to register a profile on the portal.
There are two possibilities: the personal profile and the institutional profile.
Personal profiles are for individuals; institutional profiles are for institutions (universities, research groups, associations, and so on). Personal profiles allow users to post articles, replies and give individualised access to certain features of the portal. They are also used for the bibliography pages, which we plan to expand greatly.
Institutional profiles also allow you to create content on the portal. More specifically, you can create information pages about your organisation and the things you are organising, and link such pages to events that show up in the calendar.
Both personal and institutional profiles can change their profile information by clicking on the "profile image" in the upper right corner.
How to Create a Profile
We already have created a lot of profiles - for everyone in the bibliography and for all Swiss institutions we are aware of who independently organise or host events that have to do with philosophy.
If you have a profile, you should have been notified. Once you know the username and password, you can log in and change the password.
If you don't have a profile, you can click on the bottom "login" on the top right of any page. Then, you will see a link called "register a profile". If you click on it, you will get a pre-generated mail for the team to register your profile.
If you want to create a profile for an institution, please add this information in the email.
How to Change your Password
- Log in with your user name and your password.
- Click on "edit profile"
- Insert your new password on "password"
- Confirm your new password
- Edit
How to Reset your Password
Click on "Have you forgotten your password?".
Our team will receive a notification and we will provide a new password.
Change Requests and Data Protection
Personal profiles can post articles and replies. Articles are published under a CC-Licence, registered for a DOI with CrossRef, dated and attributed to the personal profile in question. It is not possible to delete or change them after publication. The information we need to create a personal profile is just first and last name and an email address. You are very welcome to provide additional information - it would be particularly great if you could upload a picture of you too!
Institutional profiles can post information pages and events, and also change their profile information. Their picture is normally the logo, or something that can go proxy for it. If you have a better one than the one we're using, please send it to us, together with any information you may want to have added to the presentation page. The presentation page is done by us, on the basis of publicly available information and whatever else you tell us. Information pages, about events, series of events, colloquia, degrees, courses etc. are your responsibility - you can edit them at any moment.
