Personalized Research IDs |
| 1. ORCID ID from Scopus |
|
2. How to create an ORCID record from a Scopus author ID |
|
3. How to Create a ResearcherID from Thomson Reuters/Web of Science |
ORCID stands for Open Researcher & Contributor ID, and it provides a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other researcher and, through integration in key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission, supports automated linkages between you and your professional activities ensuring that your work is recognized.
To create an ORCID ID, please do the 3 easy steps at : https://orcid.org/ |
|
Scopus is linked to ORCID, allowing researchers to export their existing author information without the manual effort of adding it into the ORCID site itself. This is done by using their existing Scopus Author ID. To learn how, please follow the steps at:

ResearcherID provides a solution to the author ambiguity problem within the scholarly research community. Each member is assigned a unique identifier to enable researchers to manage their publication lists, track their times cited counts and h-index, identify potential collaborators and avoid author misidentification. In addition, your ResearcherID information integrates with the Web of Science and is ORCID compliant, allowing you to claim and showcase your publications from a single one account.
