Research Tips: Set Up Your Researcher Profile
In an increasingly competitive research and scholarship environment, how do you distinguish yourself from someone? If your institutional affiliation and/or contact information changes, how is the link between you and your scholarly work maintained? The solution is creating a researcher profile.
Your researcher profile is an individual Internet profile that provides a user friendly and efficient way of showcasing your work.
Having a unique profile:
- Showcases your work to the world
- Manages your publications list
- Helps to be identified by potential collaborators
- Helps to avoid misidentification
- Enables your research output to be attributed to XJTLU
- Tracks citation counts
There are multiple researcher profile tools available for free. Find more information in following FAQs:
What is ORCID and how do I register?
What is ResearcherID (Web of Science)?
Open Access Week 2018
The 2018 International Open Access Week was held from October 22 -28, 2018.
This year’s theme reflects a scholarly system in transition. While governments, funders, universities, publishers, and scholars are increasingly adopting open policies and practices, how these are actually implemented is still in flux. As open becomes the default, all stakeholders must be intentional about designing these new, open systems to ensure that they are inclusive, equitable, and truly serve the needs of a diverse global community.
