Taking Charge of Your Research Profile Online

An important part of tracking your research impact is claiming your digital research identity in various databases and linking that identity to your research and publications. This allows you to:

• add additional grants and publications to your ORCiD automatically
• ensure your publications are linked to you correctly
• clarify your name and institution so that you are identifiable

When you create and claim your author profiles across the web, you are taking control of your identity as a researcher and representing your productivity and impact in different, overlapping ways.

Creating Your Author Profile in ORCiD

1. Register an account at https://orcid.org/​

2. Connect your Works tab to a database if possible, so it autofills your publications.​

3. Can also link your Scopus author ID to ORCiD

Checking Your Author Profile in Scopus

1. Search using the "Author" search tab ​

2. Edit information as needed (edits could take 4 weeks for Scopus to process) ​

3. Add your ORCID number to link your ORCID to Scopus citations ​

4. Analyze author output among publications indexed in Scopus (Elsevier)

Claiming Your Author Profile in Google Scholar

1. ​Navigate to https://scholar.google.com/ and sign in​

2. Register and verify your account​

3. Automatically add publications indexed in Google Scholar​

4. And now your friends and family (and you!) can get notifications when your publications become available

Claiming Your Author Profile in Web of Science

1. In https://www.webofscience.com/, register an account​

2. Analyze author output among publications indexed in Web of Science (Clarivate)​

3. Includes geographic citation map

Limitations to Consider

• Book chapters poorly represented​

• Web of Science and Scopus only include your citations that are indexed in those databases (not exhaustive)
