We've developed a library of open source gadgets you can install on your research networking system. Most of these gadgets will work in VIVO or Profiles without alteration. Others have back end processes that are specifically coded to the Profiles data structure, and a few are specific to UCSF data sources. However, all are open source and we hope that you will use these to make your particular research network sites more feature rich, making alterations as necessary and then contributing back to the ORNG open source community.
Featured publications
Emphasize highly cited or most relevant publications.
Incorporate a YouTube viewer into profile pages so owners can add video lectures and other presentations to their profile. Videos are hosted in the cloud, via the free YouTube service.
Profile owners can add data to their profile indicating their interest in mentoring fellow faculty. It includes mentor types, a mentor-focused narrative and contact information. This gadget could easily be altered to support student mentoring.
Profile owners can add live hyperlinks to their lab, department, or other research sites. This feature was requested by more users than any other gadget.
This gadget pulls grant numbers and titles from NIH Reporter and displays them on the investigator's profile. Customization will be required to disambiguate your institution's investigators!
