Research impact and publishing: Researcher Profiles



Why set up a researcher profile?


Researcher profiles (or researcher portals) can maximise your research impact by:



  • increasing the visibility and accessibility of your research output
  • ensuring work is correctly attributed to you
  • generating citation metrics which indicate the reach of your work
They provide institutions with a means to more accurately measure
performance, and can assist in identifying potential collaborators and
opportunities for research funding.



The four main profiling tools are:



The NHMRC  and the ARC encourage all researchers applying for funding to have an ORCID identifier. See NHMRC and ARC Statement on Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID)
Google Scholar Citations is gaining popularity, however ResearcherID and Scopus Author Identifier
are used most widely throughout the higher education sector in
Australia as a result of their structured and verifiable analysis. Other
products such as Mendeley and Microsoft Academic Search are available.
