Researcher ID is a global, multi-disciplinary scholarly research community. Each researcher listed is assigned a unique identifier, to aid in solving the common problem of author misidentification. Search the registry to find citations, collaborators, and more.

ResearcherID registration is available to all ISI Web of Knowledge users. The registration link is on the right-hand side of Web of Knowledge homepage. Users will need to be signed in to before egistering with ResearcherID, and should use the same email address and password for both resources.
See video instruction clip: How to register, create your own Researcher ID, and build a publication list in ResearcherID.

Some interesting features of Researcher ID:

A Citing Articles Network depicts who is citing your articles. An interactive world map shows the top geographic locations. And a graphical display shows your top citations by author, category, country/territory, institution or year.

A Collaboration Network displays your collaboration associates. An interactive world map shows the top geographic locations. And a graphical display shows your top collaborators by author, category, country/territory, institution or year.

A Badge feature that allows you or others to place an interactive badge on any web page. When moving the cursor over the badge, a window will display a summary of your profile and recent publications — enabling you to elevate your professional profile overall by promoting your ResearcherID environment and highlighting your scholarly works.
