Web of Science Researcher Profile Overview

Web of Science Guide  

History of Author Profiles in Web of Science

Many researchers are familiar with ResearcherID or Publons. In April of 2019, Clarivate integrated ResearcherID into Publons. All previously existing ResearcherIDs were merged with their Publons profiles, allowing users to keep all their publications and metrics together. New Publons users will be assigned a ResearcherID as a unique identifier. In August 2022, Publons was full merged into the Web of Science Platform and renamed the Web of Science Researcher Profile.

A full history of author profiles in Web of Science is available here .

Introducing Web of Science Researcher Profiles

• View/claim your author record in Web of Science . This record is algorithmically generated and can be incorrect. Claiming it will make it more accurate
• Link to your ORCiD account (if you have one)*
• Add your publications from Web of Science 
• Add instances of being a peer-reviewer for journals

Tip: *Permitting your ORCiD account to automatically sync with your Web of Science Researcher Profile will help keep both profiles current. 

• Links you to your publications, imported from  Web of Science , ORCID, or your bibliographic reference manager (e.g.  EndNote , Zotero or Mendeley)
• Provides citation metrics, automatically updated based on the Web of Science Core Collection (and ORCID, if linked) 
• Records, verifies, and showcases peer review contributions, and allows you to indicate your interest in reviewing for a journal 

Provides you with a downloadable academic record summarizing your scholarly impact metrics within Web of Science as an author, editor and peer reviewer 

Limitations

• Not interoperable with other systems, aside from ORCID
• Citation metrics are tracked for publications indexed in Web of Science only

Additional Information

A Web of Science Researcher Profile is freely available to use, and does not require subscription access to Web of Science. We do have full subscription access to Web of Science at the UW-Madison.

What is web of science researcher profile and what happened to publons print.

Modified on: Thu, 18 Aug, 2022 at 5:59 AM

What is Web of Science Researcher Profile and what happened to Publons?

Web of Science Researcher Profiles are the next stage in the evolution of Clarivate’s researcher profile offering after replacing Publons. Web of Science Researcher Profile is the only profile where researchers  can track their  publications ,  citation metrics ,  handling editor work , and   peer reviews  for journals, conferences, and funders in one place.

Why did this happen?

This migration of Publons profiles into the Web of Science occurred to combine Clarivate’s two researcher representations (profiles and Web of Science author records) into Clarivate’s pre-eminent researcher-facing platform and simplify the experience of those researchers and administrators tracking their research outputs.  

The successful acquisition of Publons in 2017 strengthened Clarivate in the peer review space and as a leading global provider of research information to enable academia, corporations, publishers and governments to accelerate the pace of research. Publons products and services grew and strengthened under Clarivate to become the global peer review profile & service offering used by 2.5M researchers and almost 500 partners today. 

To build on this success and consolidate Web of Science’s researcher-first approach Publons profiles and peer review services are moving under the internationally recognised, flagship Web of Science brand.  

This will mean researchers get recognition for their publications, peer review, editorial work on a Web of Science branded profile, allowing them to build their record & reputation with the Web of Science brand.  

In addition, the peer review service offerings used by almost 10,000 journals will now be provided by Web of Science, already a trusted data & analytics partner. 

What services does Web of Science offer to Partners?

Web of Science offers partner services that help publishers and journals to acknowledge the efforts of their reviewers and find, screen, and connect with the subject matter experts needed to peer review manuscript submissions.

We have two paid-for products:

Reviewer Recognition Service : Web of Science integrates into the reviewer workflow so academics can track and verify every review and editorial contribution on-the-fly, and in full compliance with journal review policies. We integrate seamlessly with all submission systems to automate the process of recognizing your reviewers.

Web of Science Reviewer Locator a great new search tool to help you quickly find the best reviewers, combining the power of Web of Science researcher profile's exclusive peer review database with the unparalleled Web of Science author and citation index.

What is ResearcherID?

ResearcherID is a unique identifier for researchers on Publons, Web of Science, and InCites. It is used by researchers to track their publications and ensure their publications are correctly attributed to them across Web of Science collections. Publons allows researchers to easily add publications, track citations, and manage their Web of Science record.

• Create or manage your ResearcherID

Benefits of a ResearcherID

• Add publications, track citations, and ensure their publication records are correctly attributed across Web of Science (all for free and without requirement for institutional entitlements).
• Build a more complete profile of research impact by automatically tracking peer review and editorial history alongside publications.
• Publications can be imported from Web of Science or ORCID, or through searches or uploads.
• Metrics are available to monitor the scope and reach of publications (including h-index).

Web of Science's Process

• Each night, Publons assigns a Web of Science ResearcherID to any profiles with one or more Web of Science Core Collection-indexed publications that do not yet have a ResearcherID. 
• Any publications you add to your Publons profile will then be linked to your Web of Science ResearcherID when anyone searches for you on Web of Science.  
• Please allow up to two weeks for changes you make on Publons to be reflected on Web of Science.
