Researcher Profiles

Researcher profiles in citation databases and academic platforms are essential tools for presenting your scholarly activities. Whether it’s automatically generated profiles in databases like Web of Science and Scopus, a manually created profile on Google Scholar, or an ORCID identifier, a well-maintained profile allows you to control how your publications are presented—crucial for building your academic identity. This helps you:

• Increase your visibility within the academic community, making it easier for colleagues, institutions, or potential collaborators to discover your work.

• Minimize errors (such as incorrect attribution of publications to other authors or duplicate profiles), which can negatively affect your citation impact and the evaluation of your research.

• Gain insight into citation metrics, such as the h-index or total number of citations, which reflect your scholarly impact.

How can you manage your profile?

• Edit your publication list: add missing publications, remove those that don’t belong to you, or merge duplicate profiles.
• Manage personal information: set your preferred name format and institutional affiliation.
• Track citation metrics: monitor citation counts, h-index, and other indicators of your research impact.
• Connect with ORCID: synchronization enables automatic sharing of information between systems and simplifies data management.
