Identification of researchers

ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) – an open-source, non-profit project for creating and maintaining a registry of unique researchers IDs, a transparent and holistic way to present research results. The ORCID account includes information about the researcher: surname, first name, email address, place of work, advanced information about research activity. ResearcherID – an international system of personal identification of authors of scientific publications. It is used to identify authors in international databases of scientific publications, for instance, Web of Science. Allows you to create a researcher’s profile and combine different variants of spelling in Latin, create a list of your own publications, both included in the Web of Science database and those which were not included in it, to determine your scientometric indicators (citation index, Hirsch index ), and associate your profile with ORCID.
