How to add a publication to the profile

Up one level
Publications by the employee can be updated and added to the profile so that it can be viewed by the public. This is a walkthrough of how to do it.

Before We Get Started

Prerequisites to working with the Publications tool are:

  • you will need access to the Dept EDIR Admin tools.
  • you will need a listing of the publications that are to be published (this information could often be obtained from the faculty member's CV). Having them in an electronic form will assist with entering information into Sinai Central (via cutting and pasting).

Log into Sinai Central and Navigate to the Publications tool

  • Log into Sinai Central. You can do this from http://sinaicentral.mssm.edu.
    Take a look at this document if you are having issues with your login.
  • From the left hand menu , select EDir > Dept EDIR Admin.
    • You may need to select the Home link from the top right hand side of the window to expose the highest level sections of the left hand menu.
    • If you cannot find the EDir service, then you may not have been assigned the role. All users that have the ADMINISTRATOR role will have access to this service.
      Other users can be explicitly assigned the role to have access to the service. Review this document       for instructions on how to be assigned the role.
