Know about ResearcherID                                                      

Researcher ID is an identifying system for scientific authors. The system was introduced in January 2008 by Thomson Reuters. This unique identifier aims at solving the problem of author identification and correct attribution of works. In scientific and academic literature, it is common to cite name, surname, and initials of the authors of an article.

Researchers can use ResearcherID to claim their published works and link their unique and persistent ResearcherID number to these works for correct attribution. In this way, they can also keep their publication list up to date and online. The combined use of the Digital Object Identifier with the ResearcherID allows a unique association of authors and research articles. It can be used to link researchers with registered trials or identify colleagues and collaborators in the same field of research. 
 

ResearcherID and Publons are also integrated with Web of Science, and ORCID, enabling data to be exchanged between these databases. In addition, your ResearcherID information integrates with the Web of Science and is ORCID compliant, allowing you to claim and showcase your publications from a single one account.

ResearcherID has been criticized for being commercial and proprietary, but also praised as "an initiative addressing the common problem of author misidentification".
