Overview

VIVO provides a profile of you and your work, available on the web, and available as data. Some of the information on your VIVO profile will be supplied by you.  Other information on your profile will be automatically supplied and maintained by your institution.

At most VIVO sites, some elements of the profile are supplied by the institution automatically.  These elements may include your name, contact information, department affiliations, as well as current and past positions.  In addition, publications which you authored, and grants on which you served as an investigator may also be automatically provided as part of your profile, and automatically updated by the institution.

You will typically supply a photo, and a short text description, an overview, of your work.

Note that all information on your VIVO profile should be considered public.  The information will be displayed on the Internet, and will easily be found by those searching the Internet.
