Read our ORCID page or view our recorded  sessions to find out about creating an ORCID iD and populating your ORCID profile. It’s really easy to transfer in outputs from other resources and set it to automatically update when your new outputs get published.

Authors are automatically assigned an ID when they publish in a journal indexed by Scopus. The is matched to author names based on their affiliation, address, subject area, source title, dates of publication and co-authors. This enables Scopus to collate together the research outputs for an author and create an author profile. To increase the impact of your research, we advise taking the following steps:

• Check your Scopus Author Profile to ensure all your publications have been correctly affiliated to you and only one author profile exists for you. This will ensure the correct citation data is linked to your research outputs. (Scopus data is used in some of the university rankings). 
• To find your Scopus Author Profile, you will need to access , choose the ‘Authors’ search tab and enter your details (you may need to enter affiliation details too if there are multiple entries for your name). Click on your name and it will show your profile.
• If there are multiple profiles for you, follow the process. You will need an Elsevier account to complete this process.
• To increase the discoverability of your research, how to connect your ORCID iD to your Scopus Author Profile. This will also ensure any new publications will be correctly assigned to your Author Profile.
• Don't forget you can automatically add publications from your Scopus Author Profile to your ORCID profile.
• Email the Research Support team if you need help merging or updating your Author Profile in Scopus.

A Google Scholar profile is an easy way of collating your research outputs and associated citations so that others can find your work. If you create and make your Google Scholar profile public, your profile will come high up the page rankings if people are searching for your work. 

Google Scholar covers a wide range of different types of research output and so may work better than other profile tools for researchers in arts, humanities and social sciences. You may find that Google Scholar shows a higher number of citations than other tools: this might be because it has wider coverage and also includes the different versions of research articles.

Setting up a Google Scholar Profile

It’s quick and easy to create, but you’ll need a Google account before you can begin - use your existing account or create one. It’s best to use a personal account so it can transfer with you if you move institution.

1. Go to and click on 'My Profile', then log in using your existing Gmail account otherwise . 
2. Follow the instructions, adding your affiliation information and your University email address. (Remember to validate the address - you'll receive an email asking you to do this)
3. Follow the prompts to add publications that are yours. 
4. Choose between automatic updates (new articles are automatically added to your profile) or if you want to receive an email to review and confirm updates.
5. Make your profile public if you want other people to be able to view it.

Web of Science ResearcherID is the research profile developed by Clarivate Analytics and integrated across Web of Science products. The 糖心原创 has a subscription to access content on the Web of Science platform

The is a unique identifier automatically generated for authors on outputs indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection. Individuals can claim the Web of Science ResearcherID(s) created for their outputs and begin creating their Web of Science researcher profile.

How to create a Web of Science research profile:

2) Click on the ‘person icon’ in the left hand side navigation bar

3) You can now for a profile using your email.

Once a profile has been created, you can  by adding content. It is also possible to

The Research Information System () is linked to the University’s HR system and automatically creates a Profile for all members of staff. The profile contains some basic information.

You can edit/update your profile to add ORCID ID and other researcher IDs like Scopus Author ID and ResearcherID. 

Your research outputs that are in RIS are visible under the Outputs tab: they are also publicly visible in the University’s  and on the Publications in RIS Repository tab of your eStaff Profile webpage. 

Please read the (login required) for further information. 

This University-developed tool enables you to promote your research and publications on the University website. Users control where and how their information appears by attaching their profile to a faculty, school, division and/or research group.

displays information about your research and teaching expertise, publications, professional memberships, and personal details. 

Currently the staff profile page displays two tabs: Publications; and Publications in RIS Repository. This is an interim solution and the plan is to have a single tab showing the full list of research outputs. At this time, no new developments for eStaff Profile are planned.

There are a number of academic social and professional networking sites that enable you to create a profile and use it to share your research interests, list your publications and interact with fellow researchers.

Many of these are commercial sites and it is important to check the copyright position before posting research articles on these sites.

•  - Network with a focus on science.
•  - Network with a focus on arts, humanities and social sciences.
• (formerly Humanities Commons) - Non profit with a digital humanities focus, incorporates blog functionality and CORE repository.
• - Build a professional network beyond academia, useful when looking for jobs, consulting and knowledge exchange opportunities.
• - An alternative way to openly promote your research might be to write an article for The Conversation, a not-for-profit platform that publishes news stories and research reports with accompanying expert opinion and analysis by academics and researchers.
