Do you have good Web of Science coverage? Then a ResearcherID is essential.
It is a free product developed by Thomson Reuters. Once registered, a researcher is assigned a unique ID number that expressly associates them with their published works, regardless of any possible name variations or institutional affiliation changes.

The latest news is that ResearcherID and ORCID integration: You can now exchange data between your ResearcherID and ORCID profiles.

What is an ORCID and how do I integrate?: "Open Researcher and Contributor identifier" provides a registry of unique research identifiers and a method of linking research activities. Read more. Update your profile once from one site and cascading to the other. Learn more about the extended integration, click here.

With ResearcherID, you can:

• Manage your publication profile
• Track your times cited counts and h-index
• Identify potential collaborators from around the globe
• Publicly showcase your published work

Another great advantage for UQ researchers is that your ResearcherID can be linked to eSpace.

How do I do this?

1. Send an email to espace@library.uq.edu.au
2. Add 'RID request' in the subject line
3. Include your full name and UQ username (UQ login) in the email
