FacultyDex gives you four ways to add publications. Most people use a mix.
1. Add manually
From the dashboard or iOS app, open Publications → Add. Fill in title, authors, journal/conference, year, and (optionally) DOI, URL, citation count, and abstract. Manual is the right choice for chapters, technical reports, and publications Semantic Scholar doesn't index well.
2. Import from a CV
Upload a PDF resume from Tools → Import CV (or during onboarding). We pull out anything that looks like a publication and let you review the parsed list before committing. See Build your first profile for details on the two parsers.
3. Pull from Semantic Scholar
If you've linked your Semantic Scholar author ID (set in Profile → Edit profile), you can pull your full publication list with one tap. We use the Semantic Scholar Graph API and bring in title, authors, year, venue, DOI, citation count, and abstract.
4. Autofetch (Pro)
With Pro and a linked Semantic Scholar ID, we periodically check for new publications and queue them as pending updates for your approval. See Approving autofetch updates. This is the lowest-effort way to keep your site current — you spend ten seconds a month instead of an afternoon a year.
Editing existing publications
Tap any publication in the list to edit it. Citation counts auto-update when autofetch runs (Pro), but you can also override them by hand if you have a more recent number from Google Scholar or Web of Science.
Reordering and grouping
Publications are grouped by year on the published site. Within a year, they're ordered by citation count. There's no manual reorder — but you can pin items by editing the year (e.g. add a "(in press)" item with year set to the current year so it appears first).
Deleting
Swipe left on a publication in the iOS app, or use the trash icon in the web dashboard. Deletion is immediate and permanent.
