How to create Researcher ID/Author ID?
RESEARCHER IDs: A Gateway to researchers and their published works
A researcher or author identifier ID is a unique, persistent identification number that
identifies you as a researcher and ensures links between you and your publications,
scholarly activities and grants. Some researcher IDs are associated with a commercial
publisher or database, others are independent and non-commercial like ORCID Id,
Researcher-ID, SCOPUS-ID, Google Scholar-Id, Microsoft Academic Id, .

This unique identifier aims at solving the problem of author identification and correct
attribution of works. In scientific and academic literature it is common to cite name,
surname, and initials of the authors of an article. Sometimes, however, there are
authors with the same name, with the same initials, or the journal misspells names,
resulting in several spellings for the same authors, and different authors with the same
spelling like .
Author-1 Name is Surendra Kumar Pal Different Name Variations like; Surendra
Kr. Pal, Surendra Pal, S.K. Pal,
Other Researcher name is also similar like: Dr./Prof./Er./ Surendra Kumar, Surendra
Pal, Surendra Kumar Pal, etc.
So in this case, It require a Unique identification number for every researcher/author
to identify his/her scientific, scholarly works throughout their life.
What are the advantages of a researcher-ID?
A researcher ID is not a private identifier and can be shared publicly. It remains the
same, even if you change your name, email address or place of work, and gives a
complete overview of your publications and activities, even though they may be
registered under multiple name variants. A unique researcher-ID makes it possible to
distinguish you from other researchers who publish under the same name as you.
Some researcher-IDs, via the identification of your publications, make it possible to
perform bibliometric analyses, altmetric analysis, citation analyses and H-index
calculations. There are many more advantage like;
§ Through these IDs, it possible to link the products of this researcher's activity
managed by different information sources: for example, an article submitted to
a journal, then published and indexed in citation databases, or an application
for patent filing in a patent office, then published and referenced in a patent
database, or a response to a call for projects submitted to a funding agency and
resulting in publications by the researcher;
§ It prevents the researcher from re-entering information about himself during the
profiles created in the different databases, that has option to export and import
the references from one database to another if they are interconnected;
§ It is a unique key that facilitates information gathering and improves the
effectiveness of funding and scientific collaboration.

Some of the Author ID/Researcher ID are like; ORCID Id, Researcher-ID, SCOPUS-ID, Google
Scholar-Id, Microsoft Academic Id, and many more.
1. ORCID ID (Open Research and Contributor ID)
ORCiD provides a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you
from every other researcher and supports automated linkages between
you and your professional activities ensuring that your work is
recognized. ORCiD is community-driven. and is therefore more neutral.
Your ORCiD ID can be associated with an output in any article from any publisher, and you can also
attach the identifier to datasets, equipment, media stories, experiments, patents and notebooks etc. You
can sign up for an ORCID for free to get started. URL: https://orcid.org/register
After filling the online Registration form, you will find this kind of your ORCiD profile page, where you
can add your Biography, Employment details, Educational details, Memberships, Funding and published
works.


2. Google Scholar ID.
Google Scholar profile is a very simple way of collating
your publications (and citations to them) so that others can find
your work and often find an accessible copy that they can read.
Once you have set up the profile, you can choose automatic
updates so you don't need to spend a lot of time updating your publications list. If you create a Google
Scholar profile, your profile will come high up the page rankings if people are searching for your work.

If you are working in an area that is not well covered by the Scopus or Clarivate bibliometric tools, you
can use the free Publish or Perish software to analyse your citations using the data from your Google
Scholar profile.
Setting up a Google Scholar Profile
Setting up a profile only takes a few minutes.
1. You'll need a Google account before you can begin - use your existing account or create one.
2. Go to Google Scholar and click on 'My citations'
3. Follow the instructions, adding your affiliation information and your University email address. (Remember
to validate the address - you'll receive an email asking you to do this).
4. Add keywords relating to your research and add a link to your University home page (if you have one)
5. Add a photo if you want to personalise your profile.
6. Click on 'Next step' to create your basic profile.
7. Add your publications - Google will probably suggest the correct ones and ask you to confirm that they are
yours. Be careful if you have a common name as publications by others may be included in the suggestions.
There may also be some types of articles that you don't want to include (Google indexes lots of content
such as newsletters, book reviews etc, not just scholarly articles).
8. To find missing publications, you can search using article titles or DOIs. You can also add missing
publications manually if required.
9. Make your profile public - this means that others will be able to find it and discover your body of work.
Once you've set up your profile, Google Scholar will update it with publications that it thinks are yours. You can
choose between automatic updating and manual updating during the set-up process.

3. Researcher-ID.
ResearcherID is a unique identifier to enable researchers to
manage their publication lists, track citations and h-index,
identify potential collaborators and avoid author misidentification.
By using the MyResearcherID feature in Web of Science
(Web of Knowledge), researchers are assigned an individual ID number that stays with
them, regardless on institutional affiliation, thus allowing their research to be more
easily tracked. Once your MyResearcherID is created, your publications listed in
the Web of Science database are added to your profile - thus ensuring accuracy in
tracking your publication history and making it faster to track how your work is cited.

4. SCOPUS ID
The Scopus Author ID is an identifier that is used in the Elsevier Scopus database. It is
assigned automatically to every author who after he/she publishes at least an article
in the journal index in Scopus. Additionally, all the publications of each author are
grouped together to the Scopus author profile and allows citation metrics for each
author. The Scopus author profile can be searched with Author First Name, last Name,
Institute Name OR with ORC iD Id from link;

5. Microsoft Academic ID
Microsoft Academic Search automatically creates a profile
for authors who have published in the universe it searches.
Therefore it is a good idea for scholars to check their profile
and make any needed changes. You may find that there is more than one profile for
you. If so, you can edit and merge them. To edit your profile you will need to sign in
to Academic Search using your Microsoft, Yahoo, Facebook or Google credentials . To
do so, go to http://academic.research.microsoft.com/ and click on the link to "Sign in"
and search your name in search box. Find out your name in the search result and
click on your name mentioned as author. Here you will find ‘Claim’ option click on it
and Sign in using your Google/gmail account and then click on save. Now your profile
has been created and you may add your profile related information.
Benefits include: Listing and linking to your scholarly publications, See who is
citing your publications, Graph citations to your publications over time, Easily find
profiles (and hence the work of) co-authors and their co-authors "Follow" scholars of
interest, Embed your profile and list of publications on other web pages,
