- Give the staff member a role (principal author, editor, or co-editor)
- Continue filling out the publication information as needed and publish
Step 3: Place the publications shortcode on the faculty/staff member page
Next, you’ll need to include a shortcode on your new faculty/staff member page.
- Navigate back to the faculty/staff member page that you just created.
- In the main biography section, paste in the following code where you want your publications to appear (include the brackets):
[uw_publications]
- Publish your edits
Step 4: Update your publication display settings
