Editing Your Profile

Accessing Verso

Go to: verso.uidaho.edu

  1. If you do not have a Verso profile, submit a new VERSO profile request form
  2. Use Sign In (top right). Go to your profile.

Edit Profile

  1. Click Edit Profile above your profile picture. Use the left-hand tabs to update:
    • Profile: Add and choose name variants, global ID’s (Scopus, pubMed, ORCID), and your profile picture.
    • About: Add research topic keywords, project and website links, bio, honors, and education.
    • Affiliations: These can be units within the U of I or current affiliations you have at other institutions.
    • Researcher Proxies: Grant other users access to manage your profile.

Add Content

    • Output: Publications, datasets, books, chapters, scripts, etc.
    • Projects: Ongoing research and collaborations
    • Activities: Teaching, advising, service, outreach
  2. New tabs will appear on your profile as content is added

Adding content in bulk

If you have a lot of works to add, don’t do them one at a time. Send us your CV and we’ll batch-add the items to your profile for you — usually within one to three business days, depending on the queue. We’ll follow up if anything is ambiguous.

You can upload your CV directly through the VERSO Feedback and Profile Update form, or email it to lib-verso@uidaho.edu.

Exporting Output

Download metadata from the Output tab:

  • Single Asset: Click the ellipsis on an item -> Download -> select format.
  • All Assets: Click Export All at the top of the Output tab -> select format.

Privacy

Verso is designed to show professional and research data. However, you may hide specific content from public view.

  • In Output: Click asset ellipsis -> Hide this work
  • In About or Affiliations -> Use eyeball icon and set to Not Visible (eyeball will be crossed out)

  • If you would like your profile to be hidden entirely, please contact lib-verso@uidaho.edu
  • Hiding data does not delete it. It will not be visible to the public when they use Verso, but your data will remain in our system for use in analyzing the total output of the U of I. If you would like your research and profile data to be completely removed from Verso, a request must be submitted in writing to lib-verso@uidaho.edu

Communication

Use the VERSO Feedback and Profile Update form — which also accepts a CV upload — or email lib-verso@uidaho.edu for Verso related questions and requests:

  • Uploading research outputs in bulk, or sending a CV for us to add items from
  • Issues / inability to edit your profile
  • Major changes, errors, typos in your personal information that need to be corrected

If you find a small error on an individual research asset: Use ellipsis -> Messages to notify the team.

Your Profile in UniVERSO

Everything on this page also affects UniVERSO, the AI-powered discovery tool built on VERSO data. UniVERSO doesn’t have its own editing interface — it reads from your VERSO profile on a regular refresh, so the way to change what UniVERSO says about you is to change what’s here.

Two things matter most: the number of works linked to your profile, and whether those works have abstracts. If you also write a research overview in Edit Profile → About, UniVERSO will use it in place of an AI-generated summary.

See About UniVERSO for your options around the AI-generated summary, including how to revise it or opt out.
