• Research Groups: export all group leaders

• Ongoing Research: exports all group leaders

• Funded Projects: exports all project participants

• Clinical Trials: exports all investigators

• Publications: exports all authors

• Patents: exports all inventors

How to use contact-centric export:

• Our starting point can be any set of search results in AcademicLabs, in any category. Let’s say we’re looking for collaboration partners, starting from a set of Funded Projects in an area of interest. (an example set of projects).
• We now want to review all the investigators of these projects, to determine who could be a suitable collaboration partner. Let’s export all of these investigators to an Excel file!
• Click the “Export” button
• The Export dialog offers two options under “Choose your export template”: (1) The first option exports the projects themselves. Each row in this export file corresponds to one project. (2) The second is the “contact-centric” option. It exports all participants of the projects. Each row in the export file corresponds to one participant of a project.

Select the second export option: “Export participants from Funded Projects”

• Now is also a good time to familiarize yourself with all the information that will be included in the export file, which is listed in this Export dialog.

It includes general information about the participant: their name, affiliations, their AcademicLabs profile, their LinkedIn, their email (available as add-on). It also includes information about the participant’s project: the project’s title, funding, description, etc.

• Click “Download Excel file”. (or “Download CSV file”) In our example, this produced the following file:

  Funded Projects-2024-05-05.xlsx

• Open the file in Excel. To view only the investigators, you can easily filter for them in Excel with the “Participant - Role” column.
