A: The choice to publish your staff page is completely up to you, although CEH expects senior scientists and project leaders to have a web presence. You will be sent an email on March 26th by cehwebsupport@ceh.ac.uk with information on how to activate your account, but unless you decide to publish it, your profile won't appear on the website. There are numerous benefits to having a staff profile, however, including:
- allowing the website to access NORA and bring through all your publications to your staff page
- increasing your public profile
- allowing you to have control over how to represent your research and interests
- facilitating opportunities for collaboration.
Q: How do I make my staff page visible on the internet?
A. You will need to tick a box on your profile page "Display my profile on ceh.ac.uk" to make it go live. Not everyone will need to have a visible staff page, but most scientists will wish to display their research interests and publications and CEH encourages this. If you don't want an external profile then just don't tick the box.
Q: Do I need to fill out my contact information?
...
A: There is currently no box specifically for this, but you are of course free to put a link in your main body text to your NORA page.

Blogs
Q: How do I publish a blog?
A: We encourage you to write blog posts relating to your science, but please speak to the communications team first so that we can help with scheduling. After speaking with us, you can add a new blog post by going to the top of the page and hitting 'Content' - > 'Add Content' - > 'Blog entry'. You can then write the blog, adding in pictures, links, maps, etc. Once you've finished it will go through to the comms team so we can have a quick look over (double-checking links, pictures, etc.). We will then either publish it directly, or send it back to you to okay to agree any suggestions.
Q: Is it possible to edit a blog after I've written it?
...
Q: Does this mean that the communications team won't help me write blogs any more?
A: The comms communications team are here to support the communication of your science, so continue to use themus.
