Create an account

Anyone can create an account. There is no invitation and no waiting list. There is also no sign-in with Google or another external provider – you sign up with an email address and a password.

Signing up

Press Create an account anywhere on the site. You will be asked for:

  • A username. This is your public name on the platform, and it becomes your profile address at libretimes.io/@yourusername. It is checked for availability as you type. See Handles and display names for the rules and for what happens if you change it later.
  • Your name. Shown on your profile and next to anything you publish.
  • Email and password. The email address is also a way to sign in – once your account exists you can sign in with either your username or your email.
  • Acceptance of the terms. Required; the form will not submit without it.
  • A short puzzle. Your browser solves it on its own – there is nothing to read, type, or click. It exists to make bulk automated sign-ups expensive, and costs you a moment.

We send you a confirmation email afterwards, and the address has to be confirmed before we will send you anything else.

A link of the form libretimes.io/join/<ticket> is a referral link. It is not required and it is not a credential – it takes you to the same sign-up form everyone else uses, and its only effect is that whoever shared it is credited with your sign-up. If the link is old or mistyped, nothing goes wrong: you are signed up either way.

If registration fails

The form refuses to create a half-made account. If you see an error rather than a new profile, nothing was created – try again. If it keeps failing, contact us with the error message.

After your account exists

You have a profile at libretimes.io/@yourusername with nothing on it yet. Quick start walks through filling it in.

Your profile is an academic CV, not a social bio. It has room for:

  • Education and degrees
  • Positions and employment
  • Teaching record
  • Talks and events
  • Grants and fellowships
  • Awards, certificates, and memberships
  • Skills and expertise
  • Contact details and links
  • Researcher IDs – ORCID, Scopus, Web of Science

Each section can be shown to everyone, to signed-in readers only, or kept private. Your profile covers the visibility rules.

Managing your account afterwards

Password changes, two-factor authentication, email address changes, and signing out of other sessions are handled in your account settings. See Signing in and account security.
