 Researcher Profiles, Identifiers and Social Networks guide

Researcher profiles are important because they help you to

• link all of your publications together 
• group any name variations under which you have published 
• group institutions where you have worked. 
• differentiate between authors with similar names
• improve researcher impact
• assist with metrics such as citation counts and h-indexes
