  • Researcher profiles

    A researcher profile is a professional profile of researcher which showcase the activities related to the research such as publication productivity, conferences, collaborative projects, teaching commitments,  fieldwork, and data collection. A researcher profile will connect you and your research and make your scholarship highly discoverable through many different platforms and systems, as well as help users reach author-specific information more quickly and effectively.

    Among the advantages of the researcher profile are:

    • Minimizes the time you spend filling out forms when submitting research or applying for grants;
    • Is being required by major journal publishers and funders.

The ORCID Registry is available free of charge to individuals, who may obtain an ORCID, manage their record of activities, and search for others in the Registry. Researchers can import their existing publications indexed in Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, and others, to their ORCID ID.

    • Publons/ResearcherID (Web of Science)
