Community Research and Action

A profile allows you to pull all of your research and credentials together in one site, and helping to promote your work to others and gathering citation data for tenure and promotion or similar reviews.

ORCID  allows researchers to create a profile that includes publications, grants, and research/publications.   You maintain privacy controls of all parts of your profile. You will have a unique digital identifier linked across across multiple services, included Web of Science, journal websites, and funding agencies such as NIH and NSF.

Binghamton is currently an institutional member of ORCID and you can integrate your existing ORCID profile with the University via my.binghamton.edu, and also with the Libraries' guide Getting Started with ORCID.

Creating a Google Scholar profile will collect data from within Google Scholar to more easily and accurately group all the citations of your works and articles by you into one webpage.   A profile generally lists your name, chosen keywords of research interest, generated citation metrics, and citations (including links to citing articles). 

Your Binghamton University email can be used to create your profile, or you can use another gmail account to do this.

MyResearcherID  is a feature in Web of Science. Each author in the database is assigned an individual ID number that stays with them, regardless on institutional affiliation, thus allowing research to be more easily tracked. You can find these author profiles when you select an author while searching Web of Science. 

Academic social networks provide a space for scholars to share information and links to their research, publications and presentations.  Some will allow posting of the full-text of scholarship, with the understanding that the author is responsible for copyright considerations.
