 Fundamental Things to Note Before Publishing

1. Author Affiliation:
Use the institutional affiliation “International Institute of Information Technology Bangalore" in all your publications. Other
elements such as Designation, Department and other affiliations, can be listed as the second or third element. By doing so, it
ensures that the institute receives credit. Also, your work will be easily accessible under the institutional affiliation
i o n
rs
of “International Institute of Information Technology" in major citation databases like Web of Science and Scopus.
V e
2. Author Name:
a ft
Dr
Decide and use a consistent form of your name in all research outputs. This will help avoid the problem of author’s name
ambiguity thus raising the accessibility of your work.

3. Journal Selection:
Publish your Articles or papers in indexed by major citation databases, such as Scopus and Web of Science. This will increase
the chances of your work being discovered, read and cited. Check the titles indexed in the databases using Scopus' Source List
and Web of Science's Master Journal list.

Open Access (OA). Studies show that publications in OA journals are cited more than those in non-OA journals. (Swan, 2010;
Wagner, 2014; Wang, 2015). Read the guide OA Publishing to learn more about open access publishing.

 Tools for Researcher Profiles
Why set up Researcher Profiles?
As an author, you want to maximize your research impact and be sure that you get credit for all your research output.
Setting up Researcher Profiles enables you to:
increase the visibility and accessibility of your research output
ensure work is correctly attributed to you (e.g. ORCID aims to solve the name ambiguity problem of authors)
use the same profile in long-term even you change your name or institutions

i o n
show citation metrics which indicate the reach of your work (citation metrics can be shown in ResearcherID, Scopus Author
ID and Google Scholar but not ORCID)

Good Practices for Managing Researcher Profiles

Each profiling tool has its own functionality and features and they are not mutually exclusive. For
example, you can obtain citation counts and author metrics using Scopus Author ID, Researcher ID and Google
Scholar profile but not in ORCID. Depending on your research profile and need, you may use more than one tool to

2.Create Author profile in various platforms like Scopus, ORCID, Researcher ID, Google Scholar.

3.Integrate the Author profiles with another platform like Scopus to ORCiD, ORCiD to ResearcherID…

4.Check the duplicates and Clean up the profiles

5.Add publications from which is not indexed

 ABOUT SCOPUS

Scopus Author ID ...

is an identifier used in Scopus, a citation database
is automatically assigned to an author who has published at least one article in a journal that is indexed in Scopus
groups together all the publications written by that author on the Scopus author profile
allows citation metrics e.g. total citations and h-index to be accurately calculated based on Scopus data
(See an example here)
i o n
e
Refer to Find Your Scopus ID to learn the steps to find s Scopus ID and locate your profile.
ryour
ft V
You may have more than one Scopus Author r a
D IDs.
Sometimes you may find your publications spread over a number of different Scopus Author IDs or Profiles. This is
especially so if your name has appeared in various ways during your career or you have changed affiliations. It is important to
make sure that all your publications are listed under one unique Scopus Author ID, and all the works listed under your Author
ID do belong to you. This also ensures that your citation information (e.g. total citations, h-index) can be accurately retrieved.

Refer to "Correct Your Scopus Profile" to learn the steps to merge Scopus IDs and add in missing publications.
You cannot directly correct your Scopus profile but request Scopus to do this for you.
*The publications under your profile are automatically "assigned" to you based on a matching on author name, affiliation, email, research area, co-authors, etc. Publications that are not indexed in Scopus will not be listed in your
profile. The affiliation information of your profile is automatically collected from your latest publication in Scopus and cannot be changed.

IIIT Bangalore 26/C, Electronics City, Hosur Road, Bengaluru - 560100

 Ways to find your Scopus ID & locate your profile:

Conduct an Author Search in Scopus

Search by your last name and first name.
Select your name from the author result list to reach your Scopus profile.
Note that you may find more than one profiles that belong to you. This happens when you publish with different name
variants or affiliations. Refer to "Correct Your Scopus Profile" page to learn how to request a correction.

Conduct an Author Search in D
r
Scopus:
Search by your last name and first name. Do not include full affiliation if you have worked across different
institutions.
Select the profiles that may belong to you and click Request to merge authors.
Login to your Scopus account or register one if you haven't done so.
Go through the steps via Author Feedback Wizard to add or remove publications (if needed), and confirm your
affiliation.
Confirm and submit.
The correction takes about one week for Scopus to complete. We suggest that you submit the request by your own. A
request submitted by someone on behalf will take longer time to complete.

 Build your ORCiD Profile
ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor Identifier) is a registry of unique identifiers for researchers and scholars. It
helps to promote the discoverability of publications across multiple platforms and establishes a unique presence for
researchers regardless of name variants or affiliation history.

i o n
rs
An ORCID iD is a 16-digit unique number that connects you and your research activities throughout your career.
V e
Below is an example:

Dr
ORCID iDs can only be assigned by the ORCID Registry at https://orcid.org.

Once you have a unique author ID in Scopus, register an ORCID account and link it with Scopus. By integrating Scopus
with ORCID, you will have all your publications in Scopus added to your ORCID profile. Researchers will be able to
identify (search) your works in Scopus using either your ORCID or Scopus Author ID.

To know how to integrate Scopus with ORCID

After you have registered for an ORCID iD, the next step is to add publications to your profile so that you can reap the
benefits that your ORCID brings.
An easy way to do this is to integrate your ORCID with your Scopus Author ID. With just a few steps, all your
publications indexed in Scopus will be added to your ORCID profile. The integration between ORCID and Scopus can
be done with either way below:
Option 1 - Use "Connect to ORCID" from Scopus
Option 2 - Use "Search & Link"​from ORCID

 Web of Science ResearcherID
Is an identifier used in Web of Science, a citation database.
Allows researchers to add publications even if they are not indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection.
Allows citation metrics e.g. total citations and h-index to be accurately calculated based on data from Web of Science.
Note: Since April 2019, ResearcherID has been migrated to a new platform - Publons. With Publons, researchers now can have
a comprehensive view of both research outputs, and contributions in peer review and journal editorial work.

Why register a ResearcherID ?

i o n
Track your publications, citation metrics, peer reviews, and journal editing work in one, easy-to-maintain profile.
ers
Showcase your research output, demonstrate research impact, and display your editorial and peer-review effort.
ft V
Easy to add publications from Web of Science, ORCID, DOI/title search or by file upload.
Dr a
Automatically update your profile with institutional affiliation and publications you have authored that are indexed in Web of
Science thus allowing you to maintain ResearcherID throughout your research career.

Tips on using ResearcherID

1.Make your Publons profile open to public. This allows others to see your publications and h-index. Your ResearcherID will
also be displayed at the article page in Web of Science database.
2. Keep only one ResearcherID/Publons account. The aim of author IDs is to reduce name ambiguity and avoid author
misidentification, so that your publications and citations won't get split. Do check if you have already had an account before
create New ID
3.Make sure your Publonsprofile is up-to-date. You may update your profile 2-3 times a year or when you have new
publications.

IIIT Bangalore 26/C, Electronics City, Hosur Road, Bengaluru - 560100

Registration of ResearcherID
You can visit http://www.researcherid.com and click on JOIN PUBLONS NOW to register a Web of Science ResearcherID.
Please check if you have an existing ResearcherID or Publons account before creating a new one. You can sign in with your
Web of Science or EndNote account credentials if you have already registered a ResearcherID or Publons account.
There are a number of ways to import publications to your ResearcherID:

Add Publications

i o n
1. Import from Web of Science : Publons will use your name, publishing aliases, and email address to query Web of Science
rs
and allow you to claim the publications if there are any found in the database. Note that only publications indexed in Web
e
of Science can be added using this way.
ft V
Dr a
2.Sync with ORCID: If you have already set up a comprehensive ORICD profile, you can import publications directly from
ORCID. ​To do this, first you need to authorize Publons to pull records from your ORCID. Follow the steps here to grant
Publons permission to access your ORCID record. After this, you can proceed to sync your publications from ORCID to your
Publons profile.
3. Search and import by DOI or title: You can also manually add publications one-by-one by entering an identifier (DOI,
arXiv, or PubMed ID) or their title.
4. Import by file upload (RIS, CSV, or BibTeX): Simply select the file and click on “Upload”. You can read more about
requirements for publication file uploads here.
If you have imported publications via Web of Science, DOI/title search, or file upload, and you wish to add these
publications to your ORCID profile, you can integrate your ResearcherID with your ORCID account. This also allows you to
easily auto synchronize records between the two systems in the future. Find out more from Integrate with ORCID.

 GOOGLE SCHOLAR
Google Scholar is a popular way to showcase your papers and the citations they’ve received. Google Scholar also
calculates a platform-dependent h-index, which many researchers love to track (for better or for worse).

In this week’s challenge, we’re going to get you onto Google Scholar, so you can up your scholarly SEO (aka
“Googleability”), more easily share your publications with new readers, and discover new citations to your work.
