Manage Your Career

This guide explains how Atlas Verify reconstructs and allows you to validate your professional career.

Why Manage Your Career?

• Contextualize your publications: Associate each article with the correct period
• Identify homonyms: A researcher with the same name but in a different laboratory
• Complete your profile: Some affiliations may be missing from databases

Conflicts and Inconsistencies

Overlaps

Two affiliations may overlap if you had a dual affiliation. The system asks for confirmation:

⚠️ Overlap detected (2019-2020)

During this period, you appear affiliated with:
- Paris-Saclay University (according to OpenAlex)
- Le Havre Normandie University (according to HAL)

[ ] Both are correct (dual affiliation)
[ ] Only Paris-Saclay is correct
[ ] Only Le Havre is correct

Gaps

If a period without affiliation is detected, you can:

• Confirm that it was a period without academic activity
• Add the missing affiliation

Impact on Your Publications

Validating your career improves:

1. Publication matching: Articles from the confirmed period have a higher score
2. Homonym detection: An article with a different affiliation will be scrutinized
3. Your expertise profile: Themes are contextualized by period
