Building a Research Profile

Building a strong research profile is crucial for researchers to gain recognition and reputation in their fields. A well-managed profile can open doors to collaboration, increase citations, and improve access to research funding opportunities.

ORCiD ID

An ORCiD ID is a unique, persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from other researchers. This non-profit initiative provides:

  • An open registry of unique researcher IDs
  • Services linking research activities and organizations to these IDs

You can connect your ORCiD ID with other author identifier systems, such as Scopus. Include it on grant applications, manuscripts, CVs, and email signatures. Develop your profile by listing publications, employment, and education details.

Author IDs

Author name ambiguity can arise from career name changes, publisher formatting variations, or similar names among researchers. To ensure proper attribution of your research outputs, use an author ID. Depending on the platform, your ID or profile may be:

  • Automatically generated
  • Self-created
  • Claimed by you

You are responsible for ensuring that the publication and author data is correct and up to date.
