Tip of the Month: What is the Purpose of a User Page?
- The primary purpose of the user page is to describe who you are the others in the community.
- Instead of listing affiliations and disclosures on each article, these items are included on each contributor's user page.
- To view a contributor's user page, click on any name appearing in blue
- To edit your own user page:
- Login; click on your user name at the top right hand side of any page (next to the "Talk" icon)
- Choose the "Edit with Form" link
- Note: There is a free text area for additional information about yourself
- To add your photo, first upload your image file to Eyewiki, then use the "Edit" link and choose "Insert"
- Find other great tips and FAQs on the Getting Started page
Find Your Article Assignments: Please visit your own section Portal to review the status of your section and your assigned articles

- To find your own article assignments, sort the article table by “Assigned Editor (portal member)” or use the filter

- Review the Quick-Start Guide for Editors for helpful tips. For easy reference, this guide is also linked to each section Portal page
