In connection with researcher profiles, it is important that researchers have some means of identifying themselves. Many foundations, journals and publishers require that you have a researcher ID. The big citation databases such as Scopus and Web of Science, as well as Google Scholar, have different types of researcher IDs, or researcher profiles, that you can use to identify researchers and to ensure that the right researcher is matched with the right publication. Furthermore, there is the ORCID researcher ID that is a non-profit and independent organization which cuts across all other researcher IDs.
You can collect researcher IDs in Pure, and let them be displayed on your VBN researcher profile, to ensure that your are recognized in the research community. Read the guide how to add IDs in Pure, or watch the video below.
The VBN Team organizes courses in researcher profiles where researcher IDs and researcher profiles are introduced and you have the opportunity to create relevant IDs.
