ResearcherID: increasing the visibility of researchers and their work
By September 2009 there were 46,000 members of the Thomson Reuters ResearcherID community.
These users are spread across the following regions:
24 per cent Asia Pacific
43 per cent Europe, Middle East, Africa
6 per cent Latin America (Central America, South America) and Caribbean
27 per cent North America (US, Canada, Mexico)
As this global, multi-disciplinary scholarly research community continues to grow month-on-month, new enhancements are made regularly to facilitate increased collaboration amongst researchers and assist them in promoting their work on a national and international scale.
Amongst the most recent enhancements helping members to raise their profile and connect with like-minded researchers are:
- Online Publications List: By building their own online publications list, ResearcherID members can provide colleagues and researchers worldwide with easy access to their body of work. Publications can be quickly added to ResearcherID by searching the Web of Science® or Web of KnowledgeSM and uploading files through EndNote® Web. Alternatively, members can build their individual publication lists using the Add Publication feature.
- Refer-a-colleague: This feature allows members to send a link to their peers inviting them to register on ResearcherID. Multiple invitations can be sent by importing contacts from Outlook or Webmail. Alternatively, members can select from a list of co-authors from their Web of Science publications.
