 ===== Expert profile view =====
-Your public profile (Expert profile) typically includes:
+==== Expert profile view and expertise endorsement ====
-  * name and affiliation
+When someone opens your public expert profile, they are evaluating whether you are relevant to their work. The profile page therefore needs to be readable, specific, and coherent. HORTUS also supports lightweight expertise endorsement: other researchers can endorse an expertise item by clicking the “+” button next to it where the interface exposes that control. This does not replace proper profile editing, but it strengthens the visibility of recognised skills.
-  * biography
-  * research interests
-  * expertise areas
-  * publications
-  * external links (e.g. ORCID)
-Profiles are accessible to other users and may appear in search results.
