WHAT IS ResearcherID? A registry that assigns a researcher a unique persistent identification number as well as collects contact information about the researcher. Allows connection from customer’s administrative systems for direct access to registry. A friendly web interface provides a secure environment that allows the researcher to: –Register –Share their profile and scholarly output –Find colleagues around the world for collaboration Interacts with Web of Science content to provide researchers with bibliographic data and citation counts for creation of their publication list.

WHY ResearcherID ? The explosion of research worldwide and the multiplication of content outlets combine to create even greater demand for a system that verifies the specifics of who wrote what. Name ambiguity is a recurring issue that impacts: –Career advancement and tenure –Global collaboration between researchers –Identification and attribution of one’s scholarly works for funding Being found, and finding colleagues in a global research environment is imperative for collaborating with the local and global research community. “ Asian names lost in Transliteration”
