Help good research reach new audiences. The Research Atlas offers two ready-to-share assets: cards for individual projects and researchers, and live analytics views to embed on your website. You can also link directly to the Atlas or share this guide.
Use cards in social posts, slides and newsletters. Embed insights in a project, laboratory or community website so visitors can explore the research landscape themselves.

Share a project or researcher card
Create and share a card in three steps
1. Find the entry. Open the Research Atlas and search for a researcher, project or initiative. Below the map, open the matching-results list using its disclosure arrow. You can also select an entry in a network graph and use its details panel.
2. Open the card preview. Choose Share researcher card or Share research card on the entry. Check the name, description and other public information before sharing. These controls are also available in entry details and Atlas Insights results.
3. Choose how to share. Copy the permanent entry link, use your device’s sharing menu, or download an image. For a social post, download the PNG and include the copied entry link in your post so people can explore the current record.
Which button should I use?
| Button | What it does | Useful for |
|---|---|---|
| Copy entry link | Copies the permanent public share-page link. | Emails, posts, newsletters and website links. |
| Share | Opens your device’s sharing menu where supported; otherwise offers link copying. | Quick sharing from a phone or supported browser. |
| Download PNG | Saves a 1200 × 630 pixel image. | Social posts, slides and newsletters. |
| Download SVG | Saves a scalable vector image. | High-resolution layouts and design tools that support SVG. |
| Open permanent share page | Opens a public page with the card and published entry details. | A shareable destination readers can return to. |
A snapshot to share. A live link to explore.
Downloaded images show the information available when they were created and carry a snapshot date. They do not change when an entry is updated. Download a fresh card after important changes.
The permanent share link follows the current published entry. Keep it alongside the image so readers can see updated information, inspect sources and explore the wider Atlas. If the entry is unpublished, the share page stops displaying it.
Make your post useful
Explain why the research matters to your audience, attach the card and add the permanent entry link. A question or invitation can help others connect with the work.
Working on [topic]? Discover [researcher/project name] in the disinfo.science Research Atlas: [paste the entry link]. Explore the research, follow connections and help us grow this shared resource.
On a website, you can upload the downloaded image and link it to the permanent share page. Add descriptive alternative text, such as “Research Atlas card for [name], working on [topic]”. For a live interactive chart or network, use Embed this view on an analytics element instead.
Embed a live Atlas insight on your website
Bring an explorable piece of the Atlas to your own audience. Topic clouds, relationship networks, field comparisons, project-start timelines and available statistics or count widgets can present a relevant perspective on public research data. A card highlights one entry; an embedded insight presents a view across entries.
1. Choose and configure a view. Open Atlas Insights or another Atlas analytics element on this site. Choose the visualisation and research field, then set the available search, entry-type, date or other filters to focus on your audience’s interests.
2. Get the embed code. Select Embed this view, beside Copy link to this view. In the dialog, select Copy embed code. If clipboard access is blocked, select and copy the HTML manually.
3. Add it to your website. Paste the complete code into a Custom HTML block in WordPress, or an equivalent HTML embed component in your website editor. Publish or preview the page and check the view on desktop and mobile. Your website must permit iframe embeds. Keep the supplied source credit and licence link with the widget.
The embed is live. Its code preserves the selected view and filters, while the widget loads the latest public Atlas entries. Counts, connections and visible entries can change as the resource grows. For a reproducible analysis, retain a dated data export; a live embed is not a frozen research snapshot.
For example, a laboratory could embed a methods comparison, a project website could show a topic network, and a community portal could offer a filtered view of relevant initiatives. Readers can discover the research in context and follow the source link back to the Atlas.
Only want a link? Use Copy link to this view to send someone the configured analysis without editing a website. Email and social platforms generally do not run iframe widgets; share a view link there instead.
Embed missing or blank? Check that your editor retained the iframe code and that your website allows content from disinfo.science. Some editors remove embeds or require an administrator to enable them. If embedding is unavailable, use the copied view link.
Give credit and help the Atlas grow
Keep the source and licence attribution visible when sharing a card. If you adapt it, indicate your changes. See Use, cite & contribute for CC BY 4.0 attribution guidance and the scope of the licence.
Cards use public research metadata and exclude contact-email fields from their images. Check the preview before posting: the Atlas is an exploratory community resource, and a card is not independent verification or endorsement of the research it describes.
Something missing or outdated? Add or update your contribution before creating a new card. Sharing accurate entries helps researchers discover one another and brings new knowledge back to the community.
If sharing does not work
No card button? Look in the expanded results or entry details, or select an entry in the graph. A topic node represents a theme; choose a researcher, project or initiative to share an entry card.
Link copying is blocked? The interface offers a selectable link for manual copying. No device sharing menu? Use Copy entry link instead. PNG export fails? Try Download SVG or another browser.
No image preview on a social network? Preview availability depends on the platform and server support. Download the PNG and attach it directly, then include the permanent entry link in the post.
Use it. Credit it. Help it grow. Find a card to share →
