Research Impact: Researcher Profiles

Set Up Researcher Profile

What is ORCID?

  • ORCID, which stands for Open Researcher and Contributor Identifier, is a globally unique, persistent and open identifier for researchers and scholars.
  • You can use the same ORCID ID (an https URI with a 16-digit number, see a demo account) throughout your whole career regardless your name/affiliation/living place changes.
  • The ORCID ID links a researcher's list of works, past funding and current affiliation. It improves discoverability and reduces repetitive data entry.

 

Account Registration and Scopus/Web of Science Connection

  • Account Registration
  • Connect Scopus Author Profile to ORCID (see Author Profile (Scopus))
  • Connect Web of Science Researcher Profile to ORCID (see Researcher Profile (Web of Science))

Author Profile/ID

  • Scopus automatically creates a profile when you have 2 or more publications indexed. Each profile has a unique Author ID.
  • You will not have a Scopus Author Profile if your publications are not indexed in Scopus, even though you have more than 2 publications.


Point to note:

  • You may have multiple profiles/IDs if you have publications with different names variants and/or you have changed affiliations. Please go to "Request Corrections to your Scopus Author Profile" to merge your Author IDs so that all your publications will be listed under one unique Author ID.
  • The affiliation shown in Author Profile is based on the most recent publication.
