Research Impact Factors

ORCID

ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) provides researcher profiles and a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from other researchers and supports automated links between you and your research activities. 

Use your ORCID when you apply for grants or submit publications. ORCID recommends that their ID's be displayed as a URI with hyphens between every 4th digit, as such: http://orcid.org/0000-0001-2345-6789

Once registered in ORCID, you can import your papers:

You can also search for and add papers manually:

  1. Login to your ORCID record. 
  2. Under Works section, click "+Add works".
  3. Review the search results or enter information manually to add papers to your profile.

ResearcherID (Web of Science)

By using the MyResearcherID feature in Web of Science (Web of Knowledge), researchers are assigned an individual ID number that stays with them, regardless on institutional affiliation, thus allowing their research to be more easily tracked.

Once your MyResearcherID is created, your publications listed in the Web of Science database are added to your profile - thus ensuring accuracy in tracking your publication history and making it faster to track how your work is cited. 

Publications can be added to ResearcherID from Web of Knowledge by selecting the “I Wrote These Publications” button.

Scopus Author ID

Scopus Author Identifier distinguishes between authors with similar names and groups together all of the documents written by that author.

For more information see Scopus Author Identifier.

Google Scholar

Creating your Google Scholar profile will make sure that Google Scholar will accurately group and attribute all of your publications and their citations.

1. Sign to your Google account, or create one if you don't have one.
2. Confirm the spelling of your name, enter your affiliation, etc.
3. On the next page, you will see a list of articles. Confirm the articles that are yours.
4. It will ask you what to do when an article's data changes in Google Scholar. You can either have the updates applied to your profile automatically or you can choose to review them.
5. Once you are satisfied with your profile, make it public.

You can also add articles to your profile manually or by searching Google Scholar - see the help pages for instructions:
