Why provide or update your demographic data?
The new demographics portion of your profile allows members to indicate specific, multiple research interests. Members are no longer limited to selecting a single geographical region, historical period, or topic—or the fallback “multiple topics”—but instead can list the full range of their interests. The profile’s new capability enables members to find colleagues with particular expertise quickly and to discover potential collaborators, contributors, and panelists with ease.
