What is the Web of Science Researcher Profile?

• It is the Web of Science researcher profile that provides an overview of a researcher's academic work, including publications that are in or outside the Web of Science Core Collection, peer reviews, grant reviews, and editorial work.
• Each profile is assigned a Web of Science ResearcherID, an identification number for each author that distinguishes them from other researchers with the same name and that is automatically created if you have an indexed publication or a profile created in WoS.

How to create or manage the new Web of Science researcher profile?

• You can consult the guide to profile review in WoS prepared by the libraries of the UPC or also the guide/course from Clarivate which explains step by step how to create, correct and modify your researcher profile

Do you have more doubts?

• Consult the page of support from Clarivate to resolve questions about how to access your researcher profile, how to maintain it, how to add publications, how to link it with ORCID...
• You may also contact Clarivate's technical team for assistance, feedback, and/or for any other reason by creating a ticket of support

• Scopus creates an automatic author profile and assigns it a unique identifier, Scopus Author ID, which allows two or more authors with the same name to be disambiguated.
• The Scopus Author Profile displays all relevant information extracted from indexed publications: Author ID, various forms of the name, publication history, co-authors, citations, and metrics such as index and Altmetrics. You can link the Scopus Author Profile to your ORCID profile.

How to maintain your Author Profile?

• If you have used different variants of your name or different institutional affiliations in your publications, you may have several profiles on Scopus, with different identifiers. To unify them and have a single Author ID, see the guide for profile review in Scopus.
• You can also consult the manuals and Elsevier tutorials to find out how to consult or modify author profiles.
