Scholarly Publishing

Academic and professional profiles sites can build your profile and generate interest in your research.

Benefits include:

• in the case of ORCID, a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other researcher
• increased visibility and accessibility to your research outputs
• ability to follow colleagues in your field, identify possible collaborators and expand your network
• retrieve citation metrics

However with so many available it is important that you select the right one/ones for you, and have a clear understanding of what you want to accomplish by joining.

ORCID – Open Researcher and Contributor ID is an open, non-profit, community-based organisation that provides a registry of unique researcher identifiers and a transparent method of linking research activities and outputs to these identifiers.

The ORCID Registry is available free of charge to individuals, who may obtain an ORCID, manage their record of activities, and search for others in the Registry. You can include your ORCID number on your webpage, when you submit publications, apply for grants and in any research work to get credit for your work. To register go to the ORCID Register .

ARDC and ORCiD

How to use your ORCID:

• Include it on your publications
• Include it on your research data
• Add it to your staff profile
• Add it to grant applications : ARC's RMS.
• Add it to your email signature
• Join the free site Impact Story

Integrate your ORCID with Research Elements

Ensure your ORCID is integrated with the University's Research Elements system to minimize the work required by you in regards to the reporting of your publications and grants.

From your Automatic publication claiming page, add an external profile by selecting Add ORCiD.

NOTE: even with auto-claiming, a publication still needs to be made into a Manual Record, additional fields updated, relevant documents attached and the publication to be Nominated by the author

Integrate your ORCID with aCQUIRe

Ensure your ORCID is integrated with the University's aCQUIRe repository to minimize the impact of your research outputs.

1. Login to your aCQUIRe account.
2. Click the circle(displaying your picture or initials)in the upper right corner of the page and select Profile from the dropdown.
3. Click CONNECT and enable syncing with your ORCID under Professional details.
4. Follow the prompts and sign into your ORCID account.

Your Scopus Author Profile, with its unique Author ID, is your 'public face' on Scopus, highlighting your publication profile and citation metrics. Although Scopus has sophisticated software to create author profiles, in some cases not all publications by an author are matched to a single profile. This results in multiple profiles with multiple author IDs. Multiple profiles on Scopus mean that your metrics, including h-index, will be spread across profiles, and will appear to be lower. In addition, research evaluation tools, including SciVal Spotlight, use data from these profiles to determine your research impact.

Scopus provides you with a list of FAQ's to help support the development of your Scopus author profile.

Ensure your Scopus iD is integrated with the University's Research Elements system to maximise the discovery of your work.
From your Automatic publication claiming page, add an external profile by selecting Add Scopus ID.
NOTE: even with auto-claiming, a publication still needs to be made into a Manual Record, additional fields updated, relevant documents attached and the publication to be Nominated by the author.

Author name disambiguation

Many authors have similar names. Scopus Author Identifier functionality distinguishes between these names by assigning each author in Scopus a unique number and grouping together all of the documents written by that author.

This feature is especially useful for distinguishing between authors who share very common names like Smith or Wang or Lee.

Additionally, author names in Scopus can be formatted differently. For example, the same author could appear in one document as Lewis, M; in another as Lewis, M.J; and in another as Lewis, Michael. Scopus Author Identifier matches the documents of this author and groups these name variants together so that authors, even if cited differently, are identified with their specific papers.

This helps you find and recognize an author, despite variations in name spelling.

A Web of Science ResearcherID is a unique identifier that connects you with your works across the Web of Science ecosystem (Web of Science , Publons , and InCites ) and ORCiD . It can increase the reach of your research.

Publons allows you to track metrics about your publications, citation metrics, peer reviews, and journal editing work in a single, easy-to-maintain profile.
What makes Publons unique, is that it generates metrics from previously unrecognized peer reviewer and editorial work, all of which can be included in job and grant applications.

• Publons can integrate with your ResearcherID and ORCiD
• Publons provides robust privacy and verification procedures to showcase your peer review activity without compromising your anonymity or infringing upon journal policies.

Google Scholar citations enables you to create a profile to track the citations of your publications and increase your visibility on the web.
