In 2014, Stanford created the Stanford Profiles website to support faculty and to facilitate their research activities by extending to other schools, institutes and administrative units on campus the Community Academic Profiles (CAP) system that has been available to School of Medicine faculty since 2004. Currently, there are more than 18,000 profiles of faculty, graduate students, postdocs and staff in Stanford Profiles. The profiles are available through both a public and a Stanford-only view. A faculty profile may include biographical information, research interests, publications, courses taught, name of graduate and postdoctoral advisees, doctoral programs the faculty member is associated with as a PhD advisor, faculty collaborators, plus cross-references for faculty members by keywords. Data is being pulled to profiles from the unit that generates the data (e.g. University Registrar for courses taught). A user is able to download a curriculum vita created from profile data. Under a system developed by Stanford University Libraries, new publications are "exported" to Stanford Profiles, where the citations and other relevant data are displayed in the profile owner's inbox for review. Once an individual has approved a publication, it will appear on his or her profile. Salesforce Chatter, a leading social-networking platform designed for the business context, is integrated into the Stanford-only view, making it easy to work closely with colleagues in a private, secure environment. The CAP Working Group has overseen the development of Stanford Profiles; a collaborative group containing representatives from participating units. Data from Stanford Profiles can be shared with other Drupal-based websites on campus via APIs, thus saving time and duplication of effort.
