Write Text in Word
The page is not automatically saved when you edit. Therefore, use Word to write and edit your texts in case there are problems saving content. Copy content from Word into the web tool and save projects (at the bottom of the page).
Manage Content in the Tool
Log in to the staff web portal to edit projects in the tool.
Project Name (title)
The name of the project is to be given in both Swedish and English.
Introductory Paragraph
Write a short introductory paragraph (ingress) about the project, about 1-2 sentences. It should be a maximum of 300 characters: this includes spaces.
The introductory paragraph should contain a short popular-science introduction explaining the focus of the research project.
The introductory paragraph will rarely appear on its own and will almost always appear alongside the title of the webpage. Therefore, do not repeat the title (main heading) of the webpage in the introductory paragraph.
Make sure your introductory paragraph contains keywords. This will help the user determine early on what the webpage is about.
Project Period
Add the start and end dates of the project.
Popular Science Project Description
Add a description of the project in Swedish and, if relevant, English. Write a description that presents your academic material in a way that makes it both accessible and understandable to a wider audience. The goal is to make complex information comprehensible without compromising its scientific accuracy. A popular-science description strives to bridge the gap between the research community and a general readership by making scientific progress accessible and interesting to a wider audience.
Project Manager
Add the name of the project manager from Dalarna University or other higher education institution.
Project Members
Add the names of member(s) from Dalarna University and/or external members from other higher education institutions.
Funding
Add the names of research funding bodies that support the project. You can choose to display the logo or name of the funding body, as well as a link to its webpage.
The logos of the most common funding bodies are available in the tool. If you need another logo, email kommunikation@du.se.
Publications
Add publications that are relevant to the project (if available). Write using the following format: author’s last name, first name, title of article, where published, year, and link to the article in DiVA.
Examples: "Dahlberg, Lena, McKee, Kevin, Frank, Amanda, Naseer, Mahwish. A systematic review of longitudinal risk factors for loneliness in older adults, Aging & Mental Health, 2021"
Other Information:
Webpage Editing Rights
The project manager can share editing rights with other project members.
Links and Storing Documents
You cannot upload images, documents, or videos directly to the tool. The files first need to be uploaded to another website. You then put the links under the correct heading and fields in the tool.
Use and Display Your Research Project
When you have completed the content, you can add the link to the project on your profile page or your research group's webpage.
Display Research Projects on Your Profile Page
Research projects are important in the general presentation of the University’s research. When you add your project, your research becomes searchable for external visitors, such as researchers and journalists.
You can manually list research projects on your profile page. Update your personal profile page by searching for your name here on the staff website (Medarbetarwebben) and clicking on Edit profile (Redigera profil).
Links on the profile page should be displayed as follows:
Display Research Projects on Your Research Group's Webpage
The research group webpages aim to highlight the research that is being conducted within each university school. These pages aim to make it simple for external target audiences to find out about both the research and expertise of the research groups.
Create a webpage about your research group and update it
