A work-around to prevent records from linking to other faculty profiles

Many academic activities include other authors, presenters, investigators, or other collaborators. The default in Faculty Success is to add those other names to a record in a way that links the record to other faculty FS profiles. Not all units require this linking feature. In this video, you’ll learn how to complete records without linking to your colleagues’ profiles.

In the recording above, a publication record with three other authors is shown, but the steps apply to any kind of record that has the linking feature.

  1. Add additional lines for the other authors.
  2. Enter the surnames of OSU-based co-authors in the “People at Oregon State University” field, to create a linked record.
  3. If I enter the other names in the first name, middle initial, last name fields instead of using the "People at Oregon State University" field, the citation still prints out correctly but no linked records have been created. This is also how to enter authors or collaborators from other institutions to the record.
  4. When the names are entered I can adjust the order of authorship by using the arrows to the right.

Remember, the example here is for a publication, but the same technique applies to presentations, non-credit instruction, grants, impact statements, or intellectual property records.
