What are researcher profiles and identifers?
Researcher profiles and identifiers gather your research together to:
- Build your online presence, making it easy for researchers, students, journalists and funding bodies to find you and your scholarly works.
- Increase the chances others will read and cite your scholarly works.
- Make it easy to keep track of your citation metrics and research impact.
- Ensure you get credit for all your research and publications.
Things to consider
When setting up a profile, you may want to consider:
- The time commitment required to maintain it.
- How many notifications you wish to receive if changes occur.
- How much information you are willing to disclose.
- Whether you have the rights to share published materials.
- The limitations of citation tools and of relying on citations as measures of scholarly impact.
