In today's hyper-connected academic world, your online presence is more than just a formality — it's a key part of how your research is discovered, cited, and shared. Having a personal website as a researcher is no longer a luxury or an afterthought. It's a necessity.
🌍 Why You Need a Personal Website as a Researcher
Here are just a few reasons why creating your own academic website is a smart move:
Visibility: A central hub for your work helps colleagues, collaborators, and even media or policy professionals find and engage with your research.
Control: Unlike academic platforms with restrictions and ever-changing rules, your website gives you full control over how your work is presented.
Citations & Impact: Making your publications, datasets, and media accessible in one place increases the chances they’ll be cited and reused.
Networking: A polished site can be a conversation starter — whether you’re applying for grants, jobs, or building your academic network.
Longevity: When university pages get archived or links break, your personal site remains a constant.
But of course, building and maintaining a website from scratch isn’t always easy. That’s where Linkademic comes in.
