Why can't I update my DBLP link?

You can try the following steps to debug issues related to adding your DBLP link to your profile:

1. Ensure that the DBLP link is properly formatted and uses the persistent URL (see here for more details about persistent URLs)

2. Ensure that your DBLP link is a single author page. If the link has a banner that states that it is a "disambiguation page", or if the link contains publications that belong to another researcher, contact DBLP directly to create a single author page. (See this post by DBLP for more information)

3. Check for previous profiles. Sometimes users have previously created profiles with DBLP links. If you get an error stating another user is using your profile, check for previous accounts using past emails.

4. Check for claimable profiles. There are some profiles that have been pre-created by OpenReview. You can go to the sign-up page and type the first and last name in the conflicting profile and check for claimable profiles.

5. Contact support. If none of the above steps work, contact us at [e-mail]. Include your profile id, the DBLP link, and the error message you receive when you attempt to update your profile.
