Managing your Academic Identity: ResearcherID

What is ResearcherID?

A Web of Science ResearcherID is a unique identifier that connects an author with his or her Works across the Web of Science ecosystem (Web of Science, Publons, and InCites).

The Researcher ID was previously integrated in the Publons platform. This integration was completed over the course of August 2023, and researchers' profiles were transferred from Publons to WoS.

Each author can set their researcher ID profile privacy settings as they see fit.
