ORCID ID and researcher identifiers
If you are undertaking research, you will need to set up persistent digital identifiers that uniquely distinguish you as a researcher and connect you to your research activity. Use ORCID ID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) and other researcher identifiers to:
- establish your identity as a researcher
- get credit for your research activity
- improve your publication workflow
- draw in accurate data to your UQ eSpace and other profiles, including UQ Researchers and your Individual Activity Profile (IAP).
3. Web of Science Researcher Profile (ResearcherID)
A Web of Science Researcher Profile (using ResearcherID) is a valuable addition to your ORCID profile if you have publications indexed in Web of Science.
Manage your Web of Science Researcher Profile to add your publications, track your citations, and track, verify and showcase your peer review and editorial contributions for academic journals (formerly Publons).
Log in or create a profile and ID
Access Web of Science via Library Search. Either:
- Sign in if you already have a ResearcherID, Web of Science account or Publons account
- Register to create a profile and get a unique ResearcherID.
Watch Web of Science: Create an account (YouTube, 1m47) for details.
Manage your Researcher Profile
If the journal you are publishing in is indexed in Web of Science, add your publications to your profile. This will provide you with citation metrics including your h-index and citations per paper, according to Web of Science.
Your profile does not automatically update with new publications. Use the following options to keep your profile up-to-date.
Connect your ORCID account
