Measuring Your Research Impact
From Mann Library Libguide, Erin Eldermire
- Sign up for an ORCID Identifier: The Open Researcher and Contributor ID is a nonprofit organization which identifies authors by a persistent digital identifier. The unique number assigned to you will allow publishers and aggregators of scholarly literature to distinguish you from researchers with similar names. This is a powerful tool in author disambiguation and it takes just a few minutes to sign up.
- Get a ResearchID with Web of Knowledge: Minimize author misidentification by signing up for a Researcher ID. Each member is assigned a unique identifier to enable researchers to manage their publication lists, track their times cited counts and h-index, identify potential collaborators and avoid author misidentification.
