Researcher Identifiers, Profiles and Social Networks: Publons (Web of Science)

A Web of Science Publons account allows you to create a profile where others can see your publications. Your Web of Science ResearcherID integrates into the Publons platform and allows you to manage your publications, track citation counts, calculate your h-index and manage your Web of Science record. You can add publications that are indexed by Web of Science or import them from another source.  

If you register for Publons and don’t already have a Web of Science ResearcherID one will be assigned to you. A ResearcherID is a unique number that remains the same, regardless of whether your name or institution changes, and can: 

• Import your publications from Web of Science, ORCID, or your reference manager (Endnote or Mendeley), 

• Create an online profile showcasing your work as an author, peer reviewer and editor, 

• Track the citation metrics for your publications indexed in Web of Science Core Collection, and 

• Make it easier for others to find your body of work and identify you as a potential collaborator.
