Researcher Identifiers & Profiles: Web of Science Researcher ID

Tips on creating your unique ID number and profile as a researcher via some web services

Web of Science Researcher ID

A Web of Science Researcher ID is a unique identifier that connects an author to their work in the Web of Science Group products (Web of Science, InCites, EndNote). A Researcher ID is minted for every author with at least one publication indexed in the Web of Science.

Having a Web of Science Researcher ID helps to:

  • Solve author identity issues.
  • Ensure correct attribution between you and your publications on the Web of Science.
  • Add dynamic citation metrics from the Web of Science Core Collection and other missing metadata to publication records on your Publons profile, Web of ScienceInCites, etc.
  • Keep your ORCID up to date by linking it to your Web of Science Researcher ID.

Web of Science Researcher Profile

Web of Science researcher profile is the only profile where you can:

  • Manage your publication lists, including publications in the Core Collection, publications outside of the Core Collection,
  • Grant reviews,
  • Include Peer reviews for journals and conferences and/or editorial activities,
  • View your citation metrics,
  • Export a CV of your scholarly contribution,
  • Additional profile features will be added according to entitlements to the Core Collection.
