What should a researcher's website include?
The backbone is a short bio and research statement, a publications list, your CV, and contact details. Depending on your stage, strong additions are current projects, teaching, a lab or group page, talks, and links to your Google Scholar and ORCID profiles. The goal is that a hiring committee or collaborator understands your work and finds your papers in under a minute. 10Web's researcher website templates arrange these sections in an academic-friendly order, so you're filling in your work rather than designing the structure.
Do researchers really need a personal website beyond a university profile?
In most cases, yes. A department profile is usually a locked template with a headshot and a short blurb, and it vanishes the moment you change institutions. A site you own follows you across roles, presents your full body of work the way you want, and gives you a stable link for applications, papers, and email signatures. On the academic job market especially, a well-kept personal site signals seriousness and makes your research easy to explore in one place.
How do I list my publications on the site?
You have room to present them however your field expects, grouped by year, by type, or by project, each with a title, venue, coauthors, and a link to the paper or preprint. Rather than a static wall of citations, you can add DOIs, PDF links, or connections to your Google Scholar and ORCID records so readers reach the full text easily. Organizing and formatting that list is a direct edit in the AI-powered visual editor, so it stays readable as it grows.
Can I include a teaching section or a page for my lab or group?
Absolutely, and for many academics both are essential. A teaching section can hold your courses, syllabi, and student resources, while a lab or group page can introduce members, describe your focus, and recruit students or postdocs. These templates handle multi-section sites comfortably, so a single site can carry your research, teaching, and group without feeling crowded.
How do I build a researcher website with these templates?
Choose a researcher template, then shape it in 10Web's AI-powered visual editor by describing changes in plain language or editing directly on the page, and publish in minutes, no coding required. Since academic work accumulates constantly, updates stay just as quick: adding a new paper, talk, or course takes moments, so your site keeps pace with your career instead of aging on a server you can't easily reach.
