Author Profile Tools

 The following are essential for ensuring that you can accurately measure and demonstrate your impact.

 

 

 

  • Provides a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other researcher.
  • Link your ORCID to your other identifiers (such as Scopus or ResearcherID or LinkedIn).

 
  • Harzing's Publish or Perish Software searches Google Scholar for publications. Make sure all your work is indexed there!
  • Check who is citing your publications, graph citations over time, and check several citation metrics.
  • You can also make your profile public, so that it may appear in Google Scholar results when people search for your name
  • Particularly useful for those researchers in the humanities, business, or Social Sciences 
 
  •  Create a profile to display citation metrics and show relationship between and among disciplines, content & authors.



 
  • Good for Scientists (if your work is indexed in Web of Science)
  • You must register for a ReseacherID 
  •  you are assigned a unique identifier mean you can manage your publication lists, track citation counts and h-index, identify potential collaborators and avoid author misidentification /duplication.
