2. By creating a research ID
& using these systems you can:
• Create a unique persistent digital identifier that you keep throughout your
career
• Create your own research profile & import work you have authored
3. Why do I need a unique ID?
• Author name is not always adequate for identification
• Research community can link an author to research and professional activity
• Makes your work discoverable, noticeable, more citations
• You may have published under different names
• You may have published from different institutions
• Change research direction or work in a different research teams
• Funders ask for a unique ID
• Publishers ask for a unique ID
• Institution requires a unique ID
4. Some Systems to use:
ORCID ID
ResearcherID – Web of Science
Scopus ID
5. Web of Science offers ResearcherID where you can create a personal profile, build a publication
list of your published research, track times cited and find citation metrics for records inWeb of
Science.
To create a ResearcherID inWeb of Science go to:
http://www.researcherid.com
Or go to
http://www.lib.uct.ac.za
Go to: Databases and choose Web of Science
Create a ResearcherID Profile
Web of Science
12. • By searching inWeb of science
• By importing from Endnote
• By importing from Refworks or any RIS file
(a tagged format for expressing bibliographic citations)
How do I get publications into my ResearcherID profile?

The ORCID Application
Programme Interface
(API) enables the
exchange of
information between
systems:
• Less time re-keying
• Improved data
• Easier maintenance
• Better sharing across
systems
27. Scopus ID (Elsevier) http://www.scopus.com/
“Many authors have similar names.The ScopusAuthor Identifier distinguishes between
these names by assigning each author in Scopus a unique number and grouping together all
of the documents written by that author.”
28. To determine which author names should be grouped together under a single identifier
number, the Scopus Author Identifier uses an algorithm that matches author names based
on their affiliation, address, subject area, source title, dates of publication citations, and co-
authors.
When you search, this feature returns documents written by that author, even when an
author is cited differently.
