Setting up and maintaining a researcher profile can significantly increase your research visibility and ensure your publications and citations are correctly attributed to you. Common researcher identifiers and profiles include ORCID, Scopus Author ID, and Web of Science ResearcherID.

Below, we outline the steps for managing and merging researcher profiles across these platforms.
ORCID iD
If you have more than one ORCID iD, please follow ORCID’s official instructions to merge them.
After you complete the process, please inform the Library if your primary ORCID iD is different from the one you previously provided to the University during the ORCID Creation and Integration Exercise.
