RESEARCHERS PROFILES
One of the most important
factors in getting your work noticed, read, and cited is accessibility. You
need to make it as easy as possible for people to find your work.
Make
it easy for others to get your publication list
One
way to make your research easy to find is to create researcher profiles.
Why
a Profile?
In
an increasingly competitive research and scholarship environment, how do you
distinguish yourself from someone? If your institutional affiliation and/or
contact information changes, how is the link between you and your scholarly
work maintained? The solution is creating a researcher profile.
A profile pulls all research together in one place, mitigating common problems that often arise in searching. Such problems can include variations in authors' names when articles are indexed, or difficulty in narrowing a search down easily when an author has a common name.
If a researcher has worked with multiple granting agencies, research groups, or institutions, a research profile will also make their research easier to find.
Setting up Profiles
Google
Scholar Citation Profile
Creating
a Google Scholar Citation profile will make sure that Google Scholar will
easily and accurately group all the citations of your publications into one
pool. A profile generally lists your name, chosen keywords of
research interest, generated citation metrics, and citations (including links
to citing articles). In order to create a Google Scholar Citation profile, you need a Google Account. Once the profile is set up, it will automatically update.
For more information see the Google Scholar Citations help page.
Scopus Author Identifier
Scopus Author
Identifier distinguishes between similar names by assigning each author in
Scopus a unique number and grouping together all of the documents written by
that author.
Researcher
ID (Web of Science)
By using
the MyResearcherID feature
in Web of Science (Web of Knowledge), researchers are assigned an individual ID
number that stays with them, regardless on institutional affiliation, thus
allowing their research to be more easily tracked.Once your MyResearcherID is created, your publications listed in the Web of Science database are added to your profile - thus ensuring accuracy in tracking your publication history and making it faster to track how your work is cited.
Publications can be added to ResearcherID from Web of
Knowledge by selecting the “I Wrote These Publications” button.
ORCID
ORCID http://orcid.org/(Open Researcher and
Contributor ID) allows researchers to create a profile that includes
publications, grants, and research/publications. You maintain privacy controls
of all parts of your profile.
Include your ORCID id on your homepage, when you submit
applications, apply for grants, in your PDR, CV, and in your email address.
Once registered in
ORCID, you can import publications from:
·

Select your Scopus
profiles
At
Scopus, it is easy for researchers to freely import their research papers to
ORCID through a direct link on the author detail page, shown as follows:
·

ORCID recommends that
ID's be displayed as a URI with hyphens between every 4th digit, as such: http://orcid.org/0000-0001-2345-6789
Verifying
and Correcting Your Author Profile in Scopus
Authors can
verify and correct their Scopus profiles to improve accuracy. The instructions
below will assist you to check your author profiles, and request merging where
multiple profiles exist.
1. Go to
Scopus.
2. Choose
the Author search tab. Search by author name using last name and first initial.
3. Click on
Show Profile Matches with One Document
4. Check the
results list. If there are multiple listings for your name, tick the box next
to all author listings that are yours. Then click on Request to Merge Authors.
5. Check the
details of the authors you have selected to merge, and click on Start.
6. Select
your preferred profile name from the list, and click on Next.
7. Check
that the list of documents to be associated with your name is correct. If not,
click on Edit documents. Once the list is correct, click on Next.
8. Fill
in your contact details and click on Submit.
Please note, changes will not
appear in Scopus immediately, there may be a delay of several weeks while the
change is reviewed and then loaded into Scopus.
Some tips for
improving impact
Distinguish Your Name
& Use Unique Identifiers
Use the
same version of your name on all publications. If you have a common name,
add your middle name for distinction.
Use a Standardized
Affiliation
Optimize Your Title
and Abstract
¨ The
title and abstract are the most public parts of your article. For search
engines they are also the most
important parts: this is the content that's analyzed to provide
search results.
¨ Consider
the terms one would use to find articles on your subject and use them in your
title.
¨ The
frequency of a keyword will influence search results. Use the same
keywords and phrases in both the title and abstract, repeating key concepts.
Open Your Work!
v Ensure
your publications are listed in UC’s Research Repository.
v Consider
publishing in an open access journal.
v Negotiate
with your publisher to retain liberal re-use rights, such as posting the paper
to a personal website and sharing copies with colleagues.
