What is ResearcherID?
ResearcherID is a unique identifier for researchers on Publons, Web of Science, and InCites. It is used by researchers to track their publications and ensure their publications are correctly attributed to them across Web of Science collections. Publons allows researchers to easily add publications, track citations, and manage their Web of Science record.
What Are the Benefits of Creating a ResearcherID?
- Add publications, track citations, and ensure their publication records are correctly attributed across Web of Science (all for free and without requirement for institutional entitlements).
- Build a more complete profile of research impact by automatically tracking peer review and editorial history alongside publications.
- Publications can be imported from Web of Science or ORCID, or through searches or uploads.
- Metrics are available to monitor the scope and reach of publications (including h-index).
