Build and manage your Web of Science Researcher Profile
Get started
Create an account to create and manage your author profile.
Build your profile
1. Update your profile
You can add affiliations, variant publishing names, adjust your visibility, privacy and notification settings.
2. Connect to ORCID
You can connect your Web of Science Researcher Profile to your ORCID profile. You first need to allow your researcher profile to connect to ORCID, then you can choose different sync options.
3. Add publications
Go to Profile > My records > Add publications. You can add publications via various ways:
- Import from ORCID (you must first connect your profile to your ORCID account)
- Add email addresses you've used when publishing. Web of Science will look for matching articles.
- Claiming Web of Science author records: If you have publications in Web of Science, you have at least one author record.
- Import from Web of Science (add all 'Alternative publishing names' in your profile to improve the search results)
- Search by identifiers like DOIs or PubMed IDs
- Import by file upload: upload an RIS, BibTex or CSV file (from Google Scholar, Endnote or other reference management software)
Keep your profile up to date
You can keep your profile current with:
- Automatic updates: Web of Science automatically adds publications to your profile for you. This is automatically enabled for your profile, but you can opt out at any time through your profile settings.
- ORCID syncing: connect your profile to your ORCID account, and enable syncing
- Manual updates: Add email addresses you've used when publishing, add publications using identifiers like DOIs or PubMed IDs, or manually upload a file
