ResearcherID, available via ResearcherID.com, provides the global research community with an invaluable index to accurate author identification and information. By assigning a unique identifier to each author who participates, ResearcherID expressly associates each researcher with his or her published work -- standardizing and clarifying author names and citations and making information searches more straightforward and relevant.
Unique author identifier increases researchers’ visibility and makes their work more accessible.
With ResearcherID, you can:
- Avoid the common problem of author misidentification
- Build your own custom profile and publication list to increase the visibility of your work.
- Easily identify your colleagues’ bodies of work.
- Search the registry to find citations, collaborators, speakers, editors and reviewers.
- Track citation counts, average citations, and h-index for ResearcherID participants.
- Use the ResearcherID Labs environment to build your publication list, calculate personal metrics using ISI Web of KnowledgeSM data, and visually explore your collaboration and citation networks.
