Overview

As part of its ongoing initiative to centralize information for promoting professional collaboration in global research on the family the Doha International Institute for Family Studies and Development has developed the World Family Scholars Database (WFSD). The WFSD is a global electronic index of family researchers that includes individual profiles containing contact information, professional details, and academic papers.
 
Family scholars' contact and professional information will be available online to the public and serve as a way to identify and locate researchers by name, geography, and academic focus.
 
Browsing and searching the database is open, free, and encouraged for both registered and unregistered users. However, by registering you'll have the ability to create and modify your own professional profile in the index. For users who wish to share more details than the profile fields accommodate, WFSD Registration enables you to upload and update electronic documents such as curricula vitae, transcripts of presentations, academic papers, and a small profile picture.
