Web of Science ResearcherID

Web of Science ResearcherID, a unique identifier that associates researchers with their works in Web of Science, is now displayed on Web of Science Researcher Profile (formerly Publons). A Researcher Profile consists of four distinct sections, namely Profile CardMetrics PanelPublication Records and Peer Review Records. ResearcherID is at the top of the Profile Card, right underneath the author's name. It is automatically assigned to each Profile holder and can be used to search for publications by a researcher. Other sections on the Researcher Profile showcase a researcher's scholarly contributions and impact in publications, peer reviews and editorships.
