==Accounts== | |||
===Account names=== | |||
In Proteopedia, each login account name shall be the real, full name of the account holder, as their name would appear as an author of a scientific publication. Middle names may be omitted or abbreviated. Titles (such as Professor or Doctor) are omitted, as they are in scientific publications. | |||
Account names shall have the ''given'' name first, and the ''family name'' last, as is the custom in scientific publications in English. (Articles may be in other languages; see [[Proteopedia:Languages]].) | |||
===User pages=== | |||
When an account is created, a User page is also created, for example [[User:Jaime Prilusky]] or [[User:Joel L. Sussman]]. Your user page is a good place to keep links to articles you are working on, articles you refer to often, a list of your contributions, and so forth. | |||
===Responsibility and credit=== | |||
Every contribution made by an account holder will be marked with their real full (account) name, at the bottom of the page under ''Proteopedia Page Contributors and Editors'', and more specifically for each edit in the ''history'' tab. Thus, members are responsible for the accuracy of their contributions, and they receive credit for them. Well-developed articles will be assigned [[DOI]]. | |||
===Geographic location, institutional affiliation and position=== | |||
In order to receive an account, a member is expected to identify their city, state or province, and country, and their institutional affiliation, just as would be given for the author of a scientific publication. Also their position, for example student, graduate student, postdoctoral fellow, staff member, researcher, professor. This information is displayed on each member's User page, in order to help identify them. The mention of an institutional affiliation is purely for identification, and does not signify approval of their contributions by their institution. | |||
===No Shared Accounts=== | |||
Each contributor must have their own separate personal account. Sharing of an account by multiple persons will be cause for termination of the account and banning from Proteopedia. | |||
===No duplicate accounts=== | |||
Each member may have only a single account. Attempts to create multiple accounts will be cause for termination of those accounts and banning from Proteopedia. | |||
