Logseq/Entity/Person/Professor
Professor
- In this garden, Professor pages model real people who hold or held a university professorial appointment, including emeritus professors.
Identity and Membership
- A Professor is a kind of Logseq/Entity/Person, using the same
Person/Full Name hub and deduplication rules. An appointment adds academic context to the person's existing hub. - The hub carries Professor as its most specific entity in this lineage, omitting the broader Person marker. Independent entities from other lineages may appear alongside Professor when applicable.
- A doctorate, book authorship, research position, guest lecture, or course contribution alone does not establish a professorship. University faculty biographies, appointment notices, and curriculum vitae establish the appointment and its dates.
Appointments and Affiliations
academic-title:: records the current named professorship or emeritus title as plain text when known.university-affiliation:: links the current university when it already exists in the graph; an official university link in the body can identify an institution without a graph page.- The Academic Appointment section distinguishes the university, school or department, and appointment title. Joint appointments retain each school or department.
- The Previous Appointments section records former universities and roles with dates where established. Historical appointments remain dated in the body rather than appearing as current affiliations.
- Sources retain the date of an appointment notice or curriculum vitae when it matters to interpreting a career history. An old biography does not establish a current affiliation.
Research and Publications
- About states the person's research field and the questions their scholarship addresses. Education may record degrees and universities when useful.
- A separately modeled publication uses its own entity, such as Logseq/Entity/Book or Logseq/Entity/Article, with
created-by:: pointing to every credited author who has a person hub. The person's linked references collect those publications. - Selected Publications gives context for significant works rather than reproducing a complete bibliography. A publication without a garden page may appear as a descriptive external link with its title, venue, and publication year. An official publication list can supply the complete bibliography.
- Book and article entity definitions govern publication titles, dates, and coauthor credits; a publication is not a child Professor instance merely because it sits under a person's namespace.
Teaching
- A Logseq/Entity/Course page identifies its instructor through
instructor::; the professor's linked references collect the courses. A Teaching section may explain a course's relationship to the professor's research. - A Logseq/Entity/Course/Syllabus page records a particular offering's curriculum. Reading, citation, case authorship, and guest participation do not establish an instructor appointment.
Page Shape
- The person hub opens with the person's name, preferably linked to an official faculty biography, followed by About. Appointment, career, research, publication, education, and teaching sections appear where substantive information is available.
- Faculty biographies, official publication records, and curriculum vitae support academic facts. Shared property conventions live on Logseq/Frontmatter.
