Author Metrics
Author metrics show an author's overall impact based on all the author's publications and the number of times they were cited.
Use author metrics to track how often an author's work is cited,
discover who is doing similar work, track the work of colleagues,
explore the evolution of the literature, identify key scholars in the
field, and build a profile so others can find your work.
Use these databases to track who has cited an author's article.

Look up a specific author
You may want to find metrics that quantify your own research output, or that of another author.
Try starting with Web of Science and Scopus.

Example: Find metrics for Temple Grandin, professor of Animal Sciences at Colorado State UniversityGo to: Web of Science
Go to Author Search. Enter Dr. Grandin's
name, and refine your search until only articles by Temple Grandin
appear in the results. Click on "Create Citation Report." What is Dr.
Grandin's h-index according to Web of Science?

Google Scholar & Microsoft Academic Search Watch Find Author Metrics in Scopus (1:37)In Google Scholar, authors can create their own My Citations profile pages and works they've published. Google Scholar then calculates certain metrics. Here are some UOIT scholars
who have public profiles. If an author has not created a page, metrics
will not be available (unless you calculate them yourself). In contrast,
Microsoft Academic Search creates pages for authors automatically (see:
Temple Grandin's page). Authors can edit and create profiles if they wish.

Create researcher profiles, set up alerts, and register for author IDs
Tools are available to help you calculate metrics for your scholarly work, and increase your visibility online.
Try creating a Google Scholar Citations profile.
Go to: Google Scholar Citations
You can also set up alerts in Web of Science ("My Citation Alerts") and Scopus ("Alerts").
In both cases, registering for an account is required.
Registering for and linking Author IDs
Author IDs make it easier to distinguish between authors with the
same or similar names; they provide a unique identifier. Author IDs are
issued by different organizations and companies. Some examples include: ISNI (an ISO standard), ORCID (an open, non-profit registry), Scopus' Author ID and Web of Science's ResearcherID.
Try starting with ORCID.
Go to: Register for an ORCID
Try creating a Google Scholar Citations profile.
Go to: Google Scholar Citations
Create a profile. You can choose to keep it private, or make your profile public.
Once you have created a profile page, you
can view metrics such as number of citations for each article, h-index,
and i10-index. You can also set up alerts so that you will receive an
email when someone cites one of your articles. For more information, go
to Google Scholar Citations Help.

Go to: Register for an ORCID
Fill in in information manually, or -- if you have articles in Scopus -- import your research activities from Scopus.
With ORCID, you can create a public or private profile.
Some people use this profile to link to their various author ID and online profiles, as well as personal websites, blogs etc.
Example: Brian Kelly
ORCID and public profile: http://orcid.org/0000-0001-5875-8744
Links to: Scopus Author ID and profile page, LinkedIN, blog, etc.
Information from Kelly, Brian. (19 November 2012). "Why you should do more than simply claiming your ORCID." UK Web Focus.
To add more IDs to your profile, search for your name in Scopus and Web of Science.Author Metrics - Research Metrics - Guides at University of Ontario Institute of Technology
