Enhancing an Author Profile Page
If an author already has articles in HeinOnline, a basic version of their Author Profile Page will automatically be created to compile their articles and provide a ranking. However, authors can feel free to enhance that page beyond its basic form by adding a photo, personal biography, and other information. Submit a request below and a HeinOnline Support representative will enhance your profile page according to the information you specify.
Editing an Enhanced Author Profile
If you would like to edit a previously enhanced author profile page, you can email any changes to holsupport@wshein.com, or edit directly though the author's profile page or via MyHein.
From an author's profile that has already been enhanced, select the edit icon in the upper right-hand corner.
Once you fill out the form, a HeinOnline representative will apply your changes and email you once the profile has been updated.
Editing an Enhanced Author Profile Page via MyHein
Authors who have enhanced their author profile page to include their email addresses have the ability to edit their own author profile information through MyHein. To access this feature, authors must be signed in to their MyHein account created under the same email address. Users may access the edit portal from within their MyHein account or from anywhere in HeinOnline.
Either method will direct the author to their own Author Profile Admin portal. See an example of the portal below.
As shown in the example above, authors can add their photos and edit their names, birth years, and job titles. Authors may also add links to their online profiles and personal biographies (Note: HTML code is optional).
Once added, the information input by each author will be displayed on their author profile in HeinOnline.
Author Profile Admins
University and college librarians may request to become administrators so that they can edit their school’s faculty author profiles. Librarians may request to have their email address authorized as an admin.
Once authorized, librarians must sign into their MyHein account created under the same email address to access the edit portal. Librarians may find the edit portal within their MyHein account or from anywhere in HeinOnline. Authorized librarians will see all faculty members who have a HeinOnline author profile page listed, with options to edit or view each author’s profile. Additionally, they have the option to download a CSV of all author data and metrics for their institution.
To begin editing, select Edit Profile next to one of the author’s names.
As shown in the example above, librarians can add an author’s photo and edit his/her name, birth year, and job title. Librarians may also add links to the author’s online profiles as well as insert the author’s personal biography (Note: HTML code is optional).
NOTE: Affiliation changes cannot be made through the author admin portal. Please email holsupport@wshein.com with any affiliation changes.
