Author Profiles

Author profiles showcase, promote, and contextualize the scholarly work of individual authors throughout HeinOnline. When any author is identified and attributed to a HeinOnline work, an Author Profile Page is automatically created for that individual. The page displays a list of that author's works as well as their ScholarRank statistics—their scholarly impact ranking, based on a number of factors and relative to other authors in HeinOnline.

Any author for which a profile has been created can choose to enhance and edit their profile pages to include a photo, biographical information, and links to the author’s website and social media accounts. Librarians can also request to become an Author Profile Admin, allowing them to edit the Author Profile Pages of researchers affiliated with their institutions. The author or the registered admin can further connect a specific HeinOnline profile with that particular author’s ORCID record, improving attribution, ensuring accuracy, and deepening scholarly context.

Author Profile Pages provide a number of benefits for both the individual authors themselves and general HeinOnline users.
