A researcher profile identifies an individual researcher and their work, usually listing:

• a selection of their publications
• other research activities
• further information such as metrics.

You’ll probably have more than one researcher profile. Some are created for you, for example �۶���ƵExpertise and .

You need to create others yourself, for example  and .

It’s important to be consistent with the name format you use for all your profiles, publications and presentations.

�۶���Ƶexpertise database

All �۶���Ƶresearchers automatically have a researcher profile in the �۶���Ƶexpertise database.

Identifying yourself as a �۶���Ƶresearcher is good for the university and helps distinguish you from others with similar names.

You can update sections of your �۶���Ƶresearcher profile in:

• .

Elements

You should add your publications in Elements. They will be listed under the Research Outputs heading on your �۶���Ƶresearcher profile.

You can also link your ORCID, Scopus ID and Researcher ID profiles. You can do this in the top menu under My Profile >������ٳپ��Բ��� > Automatic claiming.

Once you’ve done this, your publication lists from these profiles will eventually be shared with Elements.

When you add publications to Elements, you also have the option to upload the full text (where copyright allows). This provides open access to your work through .

Links will show on your expertise profile and in search engine results.

ORCID

All �۶���Ƶ researchers need an ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID).

An ORCID is a unique identifier, and is essential because it:

• ensures all your research outputs are correctly attributed to you
• is required by many funders and publishers
• increases your visibility and impact

Register as soon as you start your research:

1. . Enter your details and add your works. Maintain regularly if you can.
2. Verify your affiliation to �۶���Ƶat , which adds credibility. Login using the Tuakiri option.
3. Link your ORCID in .

Google Scholar

It’s a good idea to create a Google Scholar profile and claim your publications. This can give you higher visibility. Other researchers can also use it to view your publications and their metrics.

To create your Google Scholar profile, click on My Profile at the top of the screen. You’ll  need to log in to or create a Google account.

Scopus and SciVal  

If you have any publications such as articles, book chapters and books listed in Scopus, you will automatically have author profiles on:

• �����ܳٳ�ǰ�������Ǵھ�����.

To view your Scopus profile, click on your name from any of your publication records in Scopus. Your profile shows:

• your unique identifying ID number
• your most recent institutional affiliation
• a summary of all your publications listed in Scopus
• the metrics based on your publications in Scopus.

SciVal is based on your Scopus data, but presents it in different ways, including group and institutional performance and benchmarking.

It’s a good idea to check your Scopus author profile regularly for things like duplication and correct attribution of works. If you have more than one author record, you can merge these in SciVal.

ResearchGate and Academia 

To create profiles, link to publications and network with other researchers, many researchers use scholarly social networks like:

You need to comply with copyright requirements and �۶���Ƶ licensing restrictions if you upload documents to these sites.
