Research: Researcher Identification
Connect yourself to all your research
There are often missed opportunities to ensure that all your research is correctly attributed to you, the researcher. This occurs though a variety of ways: publishing or presenting under various forms of your name, being confused with other researchers with the same, or similar name, changing your name, or having multiple family names. There are several ways to prevent this from happening, or to collate correctly all your publications if they are already scattered.
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 most useful is ORCID, which will collate all your publications in one place. Other opportunities are provided by the Scopus Author ID, which will link all your publications indexed on Scopus; or the Web of Science ResearcherID, which will collate your publications indexed on Web of Science.
The advantage of using ORCID is that you can manually add other publications, such as conference papers and presentations, refereeing of papers for publishers (via Publon) and other professional activities such as newspaper or television interviews, YouTube videos, and lecture notes.
ORCID - your global identifier
ORCID, short for Open Researcher and Contributor ID, provides a persistent digital identifier that helps researchers and scholars to distinguish their research activities from those of others with similar names. ORCID is being incorporated into publisher workflows, grant applications, and research repositories and search engines.
How do I get started with ORCID?
Here are instructions on how to:
Adding works/publications to ORCID
ORCID provides connections to your Scopus Author ID and Web of Science ResearcherID. You can add your ID from the other system to your ORCID record to automatically update between systems.
Alternatively, you may search several other databases and select publications to add to your ORCID record.
You can also add works manually (useful for non-traditional works).
You can export publications from Google Scholar (or other sources) in BibTeX format and import the BibTeX file into ORCID.
- Add publications from Google Scholar (via BibTeX file import)
To add links to other online systems such as a personal website or blog, LinkedIn, or others, you can add them as a website within your Personal information.
Scopus Author ID
Scopus distinguishes between authors with the same name by giving each author a separate Scopus Author ID and grouping together all the documents written by that author. The author details display information such as: most recently published affiliation, number of references and documents in the database, their h-index, and the number of documents that have cited the author and subject areas in which they have published. It is only offered to authors that have papers published in journals indexed by Scopus. You cannot attach publications from other sources to your Scopus Author ID.

- Managing an ORCID profile using Scopus (short video)
Use the Scopus to ORCID wizard to send Scopus Author ID details and publication list to ORCID. Sign into ORCID for instructions on how to do this.
Web of Science ResearcherID
ResearcherID is a website where researchers can register for a unique researcher ID number and update their profile information, build their publication list, and select to make their profile public or private. Registered as well as non-registered users can search the ResearcherID Registry to view profiles and find potential collaborators.
Your author profile includes a unique identifier, personal name and variant name details, your email address, institution, affiliate institution and past institution information. You can also choose which information you want to make publicly accessible and allow others to locate the full body of your work.
- You will need to add publications that are not indexed by Web of Science manually or import them from another source
- More information about ResearcherID is available in this downloadable PDF fact sheet.
Social media helps to builds your profile
Other networking opportunities (don't forget to add your ORCID ID):
- Academia.edu
- ResearchGate
- Impactstory
- Social Science Research Network
- email signature file
- personal/faculty web pages
Google Scholar
Google Scholar Citations provide a simple way for authors to keep track of citations to their articles. You can check who is citing your publications, graph citations over time, and compute several citation metrics. You can also make your profile public, so that it may appear in Google Scholar results when people search for your name.
