Editor's Notes
- Introductions What we’re going to cover
- Your identity as a researcher is extremely important. What does researcher identity actually mean? Maybe ask them what they understand by it? It can mean different things – it can be as simple as ensuring that the correct papers are being attributed to you as an author, especially if you have quite a common name. That’s where tools like ORCID come in handy that Stephen is going to talk about shortly. It can also mean building up a kind of narrative about yourself as a researcher, or even, and I know how much people hate this word, a brand for yourself. It’s how you represent yourself as a researcher, particularly online. It can help to raise your profile as a researcher and allows other people to know who you are and what your research interests are. This could help with networking and collaborations, disseminating your research and therefore improving your altmetrics, citations and impact.
