About Seata
Profiles that scholars maintain themselves.
Automatic profiles get things wrong: papers by someone with a similar name, an institution from three years ago. Seata starts each profile from public data and gives the scholar the last word.
Where the data comes from
Names, institutions, research topics and paper lists come from OpenAlex, an open index of scholarly work released under CC0. Each profile shows when it was last synced.
Seata begins with AI researchers at five Singapore institutions: NUS, NTU, SMU, SUTD and A*STAR. A profile is created only for researchers with an ORCID iD whose recent publications place them at one of these institutions and mostly in AI.
Anything a scholar adds, such as a bio, links or selected work, is labelled as provided by the scholar and is never overwritten by a sync.
Claiming a profile
Open your profile and choose “Claim this profile”. Signing in with ORCID confirms the profile immediately when the iD matches. Seata receives only your ORCID iD and name.
You can also request a profile with an email address at its institution. That shows where you work rather than who you are, so a person reviews each of these requests.
Not listed? Request your profile.
Correcting or hiding a profile
Once you have claimed your profile you can remove papers that are not yours and hide the whole profile at any time.
If you would rather not claim it, use “Report an error” at the bottom of the profile, or write to support@seata.ai. We will correct or hide it.
