Comment on Phdtree: create and discover your academic family history

Comments

I found myself, but some of the info was incorrect. I created an account and edited the record. I wasn't sure where the info came from, but I see it pulls from neurotree (which is also incorrect). Nice front end though, much nicer than neurotree :) Keep up the good work

Thank you for correcting any errors!

I really like this idea!

Here's a tip: Brazil has a really large academic platform (Plaforma Lattes) which is widely used. I'm not sure it's possible, but it would be great if you could use the information. Check it here: http://lattes.cnpq.br/ (plus, the search page: http://buscatextual.cnpq.br/buscatextual/busca.do?metodo=apr...)

I'm aware that Brazil is not exactly the center of the Academic world, but PhD research is a pretty globalized endeavour. Plus, it would be fun to see how the pedigree lines crosses borders.

Plus, this might be one of the largest database in the world. Every single Brazilian professor I've meet has a profile there.

Thanks, this is very valuable information, checking it out right now.
