Author Profile Pages in zbMATH - Improving Accuracy through User Interaction

A solid and distinctive online record of a scientist’s research achievements is nowadays a must, in particular for a researcher at an early career stage looking for a better university position, applying for a grant or a promotion, or trying to establish new contacts and build partnerships and projects. In the global world of science there are already numerous services offering research profile sites, such as Google Scholar, Scopus or ORCID. In the field of mathematics, however, the community still relies a lot on the traditional services MathSciNet and zbMATH, which stand for a high level of quality control regarding data inclusion and assignment. However, the enormously growing number of mathematical publications and new mathematicians begs the question of how to design author profile pages for mathematicians which fit the new trends of communication in the era of social networks, while keeping (or better increasing) the existing level of reliability. In our contribution we plan to present some ideas from the development team of zbMATH addressing this topic.
