Web of Science Researcher Profiles

Benefits

A Web of Science Researcher Profile can be used to collate many of your academic activities in one place:

  • Track publications and citations (download a citation report)
  • Showcase journal editorial and/or peer-review work
  • Showcase conferences and grants.

Did you know?

  • Publons has integrated with Web of Science. If you have a Publons-Researcher ID bookmark or link, it will now redirect you to your Web of Science Researcher Profile.
  • Web of Science and EndNote Online use the same login credentials.
