Create an account

You can sign up two ways:
  • Email and password — provide your name, email, and a password.
  • Continue with Globus — sign in through a trusted identity provider, such as your university or Google. If your organization uses Globus, this is the quickest way in, and it can join you to your organization automatically.
After a Dataerai email/password sign-up, Dataerai sends a verification link to your email. Open it to activate your account, then sign in. Email verification is only required for Dataerai email/password accounts, not Globus sign-in.

​
Sign in and reset your password

Sign in with your email and password, or with Globus. If you forget your password, use Forgot password to receive a reset link by email. If you signed up with an email and password, you can change it any time from your profile: choose Change password, enter your current password, then set and confirm a new one (minimum 8 characters). The option doesn’t appear for Globus sign-in, which doesn’t use a Dataerai password.

​
Your profile

From your profile you can update your name, choose a generated avatar style and color, or upload an avatar photo with a crop step so it looks right. If you do not upload a photo, Dataerai shows a branded generated avatar using your first and last initials. Your name and avatar are how teammates recognize you across projects and shared data.

Dataerai Profile dialog

The Profile dialog - generated avatar choices, profile photo, name, email, and your settings.

Uploaded photos take precedence over generated avatars. If you delete your uploaded photo, Dataerai shows the generated avatar style and color you selected.

Profile settings

The same dialog has a few settings: Changes take effect when you click Save.
Profile settings dialog

Your profile: make yourself discoverable, enable AI-powered search, and set a default citation format.

Profile here manages your account — name, avatar, email, and settings. To edit your researcher profile — affiliation, ORCID iD, phone, and your Scopus / ResearcherID / Google Scholar / PubMed ids — choose Edit profile from the user menu to open your person page.
Dataerai can connect your account to your researcher identity. That identity can include:
  • ORCID and other identifiers.
  • Publications.
  • Grants.
  • Co-authors.
  • Data contributions.
From your profile, you can request to link or claim that identity.
  • If the identity matches by email or ORCID, the link is approved automatically.
  • Otherwise, the request goes to a system administrator to review — including resolving cases where two accounts claim the same identity.
Linking your identity means authorship and credit travel with your data, and your contributions connect to the broader scholarly graph.
