Welcome to the repository of an academic LittleLink page. I customized this link manager page to centralize my different accounts related to Social Media, Research and Development, CAD Design and 3D Printing, and Communities. You can modify these sections and links based on your needs.
You can fork the original repo or this repository to start your own LittleLink page. I strongly recommend to watch the following videos (this is how I set up my page):
You will find the following buttons that may be of interest:

A link manager can play a crucial role in enhancing and organizing an academic profile. In the context of academia, an academic profile often involves various components such as publications, research projects, collaborations, and online presence. Here's a brief overview of how a link manager can be relevant for improving an academic profile:
-
Centralized Information Hub: A link manager allows academics to create a centralized hub for their academic information. This hub can include links to published papers, research profiles, institutional pages, and other relevant online content. This centralized approach makes it easier for others to access and navigate through an individual's academic contributions.
-
Efficient Navigation: Academic profiles tend to involve numerous links to publications, research repositories, personal websites, and social media profiles. A link manager helps organize these links, making it easier for colleagues, collaborators, and potential employers to navigate through the various facets of an academic's work seamlessly.
-
Enhanced Visibility: By effectively managing and curating links, academics can ensure that their most significant and relevant contributions are easily accessible. This can contribute to increased visibility in academic circles, making it more likely for others in the field to discover and engage with their work.
-
Professionalism and Credibility: A well-organized academic profile, facilitated by a link manager, reflects professionalism and attention to detail. This can enhance the perceived credibility of an academic, especially when sharing their profile with peers, and collaborators, or during academic networking events.
-
Collaboration and Networking: In academia, collaboration is key. A link manager can aid in sharing and promoting collaborative projects by providing a concise and accessible overview of joint publications, research endeavors, and shared resources. This, in turn, can foster networking opportunities within and beyond one's academic discipline.
-
Adaptability and Updates: As an academic's career progresses, new publications, projects, or collaborations may emerge. A link manager allows for easy updates, ensuring that the academic profile remains current and reflective of the individual's evolving contributions to the field.
In summary, a link manager streamlines the organization and presentation of an academic's online presence, contributing to increased visibility, professionalism, and accessibility of their work. It serves as a valuable tool for managing the complexity of academic information and presenting it in a user-friendly manner for peers, collaborators, and the wider academic community.
LittleLink has more than 100 branded button styles you can use (with even more being added by its community). You'll also find a light and dark theme ready to go.

I contributed to the LittleLink project by adding ORCID and ResearchGate buttons because of their relevance as academic platforms.
