Adding a Paper or Conference Presentation

From Information Systems at Pitt Business

An important function of the Katz/CBA Community website is to increase the visbility of the work done by the Katz/CBA faculty, students, alumni, and partners. In doing so, we can be increase the impact of that work and help others understand the value of the work that is done within the Katz/CBA IS community.

A page for a research publication or presentation should include the following information:

• Topically oriented title (may or may not be the same as the presentation or paper)
• Tagline for paper or presentation (3-4 sentences that summarize the key findings and/or implications of the work for a general audience).
• Basic citation information about the item (Including links to the author’s pages for authors that are members of the Katz/CBA IS Community)
• Copy of the paper or presentation (or a link if there are copyright issues)
• Formal abstract (if available)
• Categories – Tags that indicate what type of material it is and the general topic (in particular all publised Research Papers should have the tag and all Conference Presentations should have the tag.

[edit] Step-by-Step Instructions

To add a published paper, conference presentation, project document, working paper, or technical report to the Katz/CBA IS Community site you should:

1. Create a New Page for the document The page should have title that is descriptive but not to long (try for 5-6 words).
2. Add the document information This includes basic citation information (title; authors; date; publication or conference information), abstract or executive summary.
3. Add the document file (PDF, Word, or PowerPoint) The easiest way to do this is include [[Media:FILENAME]], save the page, and then upload the file by clicking on the red link in the formatted page.
4. Categorize the document by adding one or more [[Category:KEYWORD]] entries to the bottom of the page.
5. Save the page by clicking on the button in the bottom left corner of the editing screen.

The simplest way to create new page for a paper is to copy the content of an existing paper page (e.g. Reliability, Mindfulness, and Information Systems) and use it as a template. You can do this by going to the example page, clicking the Edit tab, selecting the contents of the edit window, copying it, and pasting that into the the edit window of your new page.

After you have created this page for your document, you can then add links to it from your personal page, a project page, or a topical page.
