Researcher Profiles (Digital Researcher ID)

A researcher ID, such as an ORCID iD or ResearcherID, can help you distinguish yourself from other authors with similar names and ensure your work is recognized, including:

• Name confusion: Your name might be common, and your work might be confused with other people's when listed in bibliographic databases.
• Publisher requirements: Publishers need to attribute authorship correctly.
• Grant funders: Many grant funders require applications to include ORCID identifiers.
• Research impact: You can use your identifier to track your research impact by times cited and the H-index.
• Potential collaborators: You can use your identifier to identify potential collaborators.
• Recognition: You can use your identifier to gain recognition for your peer-reviewing activities.
