A personal website card with a portrait, name, navigation and publications with badges, next to the words: your personal website, written for you

TL;DR

Everyone who gets looked up needs a personal website. Almost nobody has one that is current, because building it takes a weekend and maintaining it takes forever.

CSPaper Personal Page writes it for you from the profiles you already have, puts it live at cspaper.org/@you in minutes, and keeps it up to date on its own. Free.

Search your own name right now.

What comes up is a profile somebody else designed, a company page that vanishes when you leave, and a list of papers with no person behind it.

None of them is you.

Why you need one page

Hiring committees, prospective students, journalists, the collaborator you met at a poster session: they all look you up. They want one page, with your name on the door, that says what you work on, what you have done and how to reach you.

A personal website is that page. It outlives every employer and every platform, and when it is complete and current it does your networking for you, around the clock.

Why you never made one

GitHub Pages template

Markdown, YAML, a hand-kept BibTeX file and a Git push for every change. Most stop being edited within a year.

Wix, WordPress, Google Sites

Quick to start, then every paper, talk and project is typed by hand. Forever.

Your employer's profile page

No effort, no control. Incomplete today, gone the day you leave.

Scholar, ORCID, GitHub, LinkedIn

Great records of what you did. Not a homepage: no bio, no news, no projects, no story.

The hard part was never building the page. It is keeping it current. That is the work nobody has time for, so the page is never made, or made once and left to rot.

Meet CSPaper Personal Page

Your records already exist: papers indexed, code on GitHub, positions on your profiles. CSPaper Personal Page reads them and turns them into a homepage. Then it keeps reading.

Writes itself

Connect one profile. Your papers, code, positions and bio are collected, merged and drafted for you, every line traceable to a source.

Live in minutes

Pick a handle, read the draft, press Publish. Your page is at cspaper.org/@you. No hosting, no domain, no code.

Updates itself

Every week it checks your sources. New papers, decisions, positions and citation counts arrive as one-click suggestions.

A published personal page in the classic theme: portrait, name, headline, verified affiliation, a row of profile icons, and the About and News sections
Figure 1. A finished page Photo, headline, verified affiliation, profile links, bio and news, with every section reachable from the left-hand navigation. Mira Vesterlund is a fictional researcher; her page is the live example at cspaper.org/people/demo.

Publications come merged from OpenReview, ORCID, OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, DBLP and your OpenPrints on CSPaper, de-duplicated, with badges such as oral, spotlight and best paper, citation counts, links and BibTeX. GitHub repositories become projects. Positions become a timeline. A short bio, research interests and news are drafted from the same evidence, and anything the sources do not support is dropped before you see it. Google Scholar, LinkedIn and your social accounts appear as links. You can change any of it.

The selected publications section grouped by year, with best paper, oral, spotlight and journal badges, author marks, citation counts, one-line summaries and PDF, arXiv, DOI, code and BibTeX links
Figure 2. Publications, merged and badged Grouped by year, with decision badges read from OpenReview, co-first and corresponding author marks, citation counts, a one-line summary and links to the PDF, code, data and BibTeX.

Your page also reaches back into CSPaper: on every paper published as an OpenPrint, the name of an author who has a page links to it.

Set it up in minutes

  1. 1

    Verify your affiliation

    Add your university or institute email on your profile and confirm it. That is the whole gate.

  2. 2

    Pick your handle

    Your page lives at cspaper.org/@you.

  3. 3

    Connect one profile

    OpenReview, ORCID, DBLP, Semantic Scholar, GitHub, your current website or a CV. The page finds your author records and asks you to confirm them with a click.

  4. 4

    Choose a look

    Three themes, your accent colour and font, light or dark. Change it any time.

  5. 5

    Read and publish

    The draft takes a minute or two to write. Fix a word, add a photo, press Publish.

The Sources step of the setup: a grid of source tiles with OpenReview, ORCID, OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, DBLP, website, GitHub and Bluesky connected, and a list of author records found in OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar and DBLP, each marked confirmed, likely or ambiguous with This is me and Not me buttons
Figure 3. Connecting your sources One link is enough. The page looks you up in OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar and DBLP, scores each record against your name, affiliation and papers, and says why it matched. Confirm yours with a click; a namesake in another field is set aside.
The editor: a section rail on the left, the Profile form with name, headline, affiliation, photo and toggles in the middle, and a live preview of the page on the right
Figure 4. The editor with live preview Everything is editable and the preview updates as you type. Reorder sections, hide the ones you do not need, add your own, or ask the built-in assistant to rewrite a line. The preview can be switched to tablet and phone widths.

Maintaining it: there is nothing to do

Once a week your page checks the same sources. Citation counts update quietly. Anything that would change the text waits in your editor as a suggestion with its evidence attached: a new paper, an acceptance, a new position. One click to accept, one to publish. Upload a new CV and the differences arrive the same way, down to a changed title at the same employer. A namesake’s paper slipped in? Mark it as not yours and it never returns.

Current on the day a paper is accepted, not the day you finally remember to update your site.
The Updates pane of the editor: a weekly checks toggle and suggestion cards for a new publication, an oral decision tag with its OpenReview evidence, a new position from ORCID, a news item from OpenPrint and a CV correction, each with accept and ignore buttons
Figure 5. The Updates inbox New papers, decisions, positions, news and CV changes wait here with their source and evidence. Accept, publish, done.

Yours, and free

  • Your words. The build is a draft. Rewrite the bio, pin your proudest papers, or ask the built-in assistant to tighten a paragraph.
  • Your look. Classic, minimal or modern, your accent colour and font, a photo cropped in the browser, and a small seasonal touch on holidays that you can switch off.
  • Your privacy. Your email never appears in the page or its data. Visitors reveal it with a click; harvesters get nothing.
  • Your exit. Export your publications as BibTeX any time, or delete the page from the editor.
  • Your cost: none. No hosting, no domain, no plan. Free for anyone with a verified institutional email.
