Research Metrics

ORCiD, which stands for Open Researcher and Contributor iD provides a persistent digital identifier for the researcher (an ORCID iD) that they own and control, and that distinguishes them from every other researcher. This ID can be linked with their professional information — affiliations, grants, publications, peer review, and more. It can further be used to share the researcher's information with other systems, ensuring they get recognition for all their contributions.

It is important for researchers to use their ORCiD when requested, in systems and platforms from grant application to manuscript submission and beyond, in order to get credit for their contributions.

Setting Up a Google Scholar Profile

1. First, sign in to your Google account, or create one if you don't yet have one.
2. Once you've signed in to your Google account, open the Scholar profile sign up form, confirm the spelling of your name, enter your affiliation, interests, etc. We recommend that you also enter your university email address; this would make your profile eligible for inclusion in Google Scholar search results.
3. Add the works that have been found by Google to your profile.
4. Review articles that were added to your profile to confirm they were correctly added.
5. Finally, you will see your profile. This is a good time to add a few finishing touches - upload your professional looking photo, visit your university email inbox and click on the verification link, double check the list of articles, and, once you're completely satisfied, make your profile public. Voila - it's now eligible to appear in Google Scholar when someone searches for your name!

TIPS!

When creating profile; use a personal account, not an account at your institution, so that you can keep your profile for as long as you wish.
