Question 1

What is Scilio ?

Accepted Answer

Scilio is an online portfolio platform designed for researchers and science-driven professionals. It allows you to create a clean, modern portfolio where you can showcase your publications, projects, and scientific achievements in an organized and visually appealing way.

Question 2

Who is Scilio for ?

Accepted Answer

Scilio is built for researchers, academics, and science-driven professionals who want a clean, modern way to showcase their work online. It's ideal for anyone who has published papers, conducted projects, or contributed to scientific research and needs a simple, elegant portfolio to present their achievements.

Question 3

How do I add a publication or project ?

Accepted Answer

You can add publications and projects directly from your personal dashboard. Simply log in, open your dashboard, and create a new entry by filling in the details of your publication or project.

Question 4

Can I import my publications from a DOI or a BibTeX file ?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and both are included in the free plan. Paste a paper's DOI and the entry fills itself — title, journal, description, year and authors. If you keep your references in Zotero, Mendeley, Google Scholar or arXiv, export a .bib file and import in bulk instead: you get a review step where you pick which entries to add, with likely duplicates flagged. Up to 50 publications go in at a time, and larger libraries just take another round. Everything stays fully editable afterwards.

Question 5

Is there a limit on publications or projects that I can add ?

Accepted Answer

No. You can add as many publications and projects as you want. There is no limit — your portfolio can grow freely with your scientific work.

Question 6

Can I customize the design of my portfolio ?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Scilio offers simple customization options so you can make your portfolio feel personal while keeping it professional. You can choose from 20 hand-crafted themes — each with its own personality. The overall layout is handled automatically, ensuring your portfolio always stays clean, consistent, and scientifically polished — without requiring any design work on your part.

Question 7

Can I change the profile URL ?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After creating your profile, you can change your profile URL at any time, as long as you have an active subscription. This allows you to keep your public link consistent with your name, affiliation, or branding as your career evolves.

Question 8

Can I cancel my subscription at any time ?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can cancel your subscription at any time. Once you cancel, your current billing period will continue until it ends, and you'll keep full access during that time. After the period expires, your subscription will not renew and you won't be charged again.

Question 9

Why use a dedicated academic website builder instead of a generic tool ?

Accepted Answer

Generic website builders like Wix, Squarespace or WordPress treat your publications as plain text boxes: you format author lists, journals and years by hand, and you maintain the page layout yourself. A dedicated academic website builder understands the structure of research work. In Scilio, a publication is a structured entry with authors, venue, year, abstract and links — filled automatically from a DOI or a BibTeX file — and the layout, typography and mobile behaviour are handled for you. You also skip the general-purpose pricing: academic website builders cost a fraction of a Wix or Squarespace plan because they solve one problem well instead of every problem loosely.

Question 10

What makes Scilio a good website builder for academics ?

Accepted Answer

Scilio is an academic website builder that removes the 'website' part of the problem. There are no pages to arrange and no site structure to plan: you fill in your publications and projects (or import them via DOI and BibTeX), write a short profile, pick one of the hand-crafted themes, and your academic website is live at scilio.app/yourname. Every published site ships with the structured data search engines use to connect the page to your name, so your work becomes findable when someone googles you. The entire editor and preview are free — you only pay when you decide to publish.

Question 11

How is an academic website builder different from a university profile page ?

Accepted Answer

Your university profile page is owned by your institution: the format is fixed, you can rarely showcase projects properly, and the page — along with its search ranking — stays behind when you change institutions. An academic website builder gives you a page you control and keep across career moves. With Scilio, your portfolio lives at your own permanent link, you decide what to highlight, and it moves with you from PhD to postdoc to faculty position or industry.
