Here are some of the many linking possibilities available:

• Your URL, e-mail address, university and department.
• In your PUBLICATIONS list, you can link to all your PUBLICATIONS, co-authors, translators, editors, publishers and onlineAGORA DGROUPS to which you subscribe.
• Your linked publications can be linked to all publications you used as REFERENCES, and all the publications that cited your work.
• In the STATISTICS box, you can click viewers to see LINKS to all members that viewed the publication screen, and click RATINGS to find LINKS to all members that rated the publication.
• The AUDIT TRAIL displays LINKS of all members that helped build your getCITED IDENTITY.

As you can see, the site provides potential to build a very rich network of academic research.

It is important to differentiate between adding content and creating LINKS. You may, for example, be a graduate student who wants to add a reference to your dissertation to the database. Once you add the dissertation, you then have to link it to your getCITED IDENTITY, otherwise the dissertation will not be "credited" to you, i.e. it will not appear in your getCITED CV. You can also help out your colleagues by creating their LINKS for them. The AUDIT TRAIL lets them know that it was you who did them the favour.
