Additional Functions

November 5, 2007

- Mailing function
In order to prevent spam e-mail being sent, we developed a function enabling users that wish to make inquiries to researchers to send e-mail via the ReaD system without revealing e-mail addresses registered to be disclosed.
* Please contact the ReaD Office if you receive any spam that can be attributable to your registration on the ReaD site.
* This function does not guarantee that e-mail will reach researchers. In some cases, we may not be able to provide notification that e-mail has not been delivered. We ask for your understanding in this matter.

August 10, 2007

- Access statistics feedback function
We developed a function providing feedback to researchers by counting the number of visits (referrals) to their researcher information.

July 7, 2007

- Bibliography link function
We developed a function linking Research result (papers and notes) information in researcher information to the bibliographic database.
