Kappa Prime - a quick tour

Posted by simon on 4 June, 2008 in Uncategorized

During the alpha test registering for Kappa Prime will be by invitation only. If you’re lucky enough to be one of our alpha testers, here is a quick guide to getting started on Kappa Prime:

1. When you first log into to Kappa Prime, you’ll find yourself on the newsfeed, this is the homepage where you can see what people are reading and new users.
2. Start by visiting my library, it’ll be empty at first. To fill your library either click add publications then import publications one-by-one or click import multiple publications and upload a whole bibtex file. Alternatively you can search for publications in other peoples library in the top left search box and click on publications you have read or would like to read.
3. Once publications are in your library you can link them together with relations, add public and private comments, tag them and, search and browse quickly any way you choose.
4. After adding some publications to your library head over to My Page. Click edit my page and fill in some details about yourself. Why not upload a picture? If Kappa Prime contains any papers written by you they will be automatically matched to your profile. Click selected papers to choose which ones are displayed.
5. Once you’ve uploaded your library and built your page you can start organising your current publications and associates, and discover some new ones!
