External Databases and Networks

You can find my publications on Google Scholar, ORCID, ResearcherID, ResearchGate, Mendeley, Kudos, Academia.edu and LinkedIn (coming soon!), by following the links below (PDF versions, where available, are most likely found via Google Scholar or ResearchGate, though I aim to get all sites up to date at some point!). I am thinking about adding the Scopus page, even though it is mostly populated though Mendeley (both are Elsevier products) and it is already linked to my ORCID ID, as is my ResearcherID.

I try to help these systems find my papers where possible, but none are guaranteed to be full listings at any given point in time. ORCID, Google Scholar and ResearchGate tend to be the ones updating quickest.
