What is a researcher profile?
Your researcher profile is a way to showcase your work and increase your discoverability in the research community.
Benefits:
There are a variety of ways you can set up a researcher profile.
An Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) is a free, unique, persistent identifier that can be used to connect an researcher with their publications.
ORCID records may be linked to other identifier systems (e.g. Scopus or Web of Science). If ORCID records are kept up to date, there is no need to maintain records in multiple systems.
The Web of Science Researcher ID is a unique identifier that connects an author with their publications across Web of Science and InCites.
A Web of Science Researcher Profile can be connected to an ORCID profile to ensure they both remain up to date and in sync.
A Google Scholar profile ensure that authors and their publications appear in Google Scholar search results.
They can be updated automatically or manually.
The Scopus Author Identifier is a unique identifier that connects an author with their publications within Scopus.
A Scopus Author ID can be connected to an ORCID profile to ensure they both remain up to date and in sync.
