ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is an open, non-profit organization that provides a unique identifier for individual researchers and an open system to help link research activities and output for researchers.
Instructions:
Scopus Author Identifier is a unique identification number assigned to individual researchers and authors in the Scopus database. It helps researchers establish their scholarly identity and track the impact of their work within the Scopus database.
Web of Science automatically creates a ResesarcherID that compiles the researchers' publications to avoid author misidentification on Web of Science. It also provides metrics such as the number of citing articles, h-index and citation counts.
1. Go to Web of Science and search for any author by Last Name and First Name under Researcher Search:
2. Select the relevant author record by looking at the affiliations, list of recent publications and top journals:
3. At the profile page, you can find the Web of Science ResearcherID with other information, such as peer reviews, grant reviews, editorial board memberships, publication metrics (h-index, citing articles count, sum of times cited, peer review count), publication and peer review charts.
Google Scholar provides fundamental citation metrics for a wide range of scholarly resources, including books, book chapters, journal articles, conference proceedings, and even web-accessible dissertations. Through Google Scholar, you will be able to sign up for a Google Scholar Profile that will contain the information about your scholarly materials indexed in Google Scholar.
Here are the instructions to create your own Google Scholar profile:
