Your Research Profile

What is a Research Profile

 

At ATU all academic researchers are encouraged to establish researcher profiles and identifiers. An identifier is a persistent URL or a unique number (e.g. 16-digit ORCID iD). Whilst a profile is the body of information that is associated with an identifier.

A researcher profile is the publicly accessible profile of your professional academic works and achievements. Researcher profiles are an essential component of an academic career and there are numerous types that can be created, many of which can can be interlinked.

Researchers should ideally have two or three research profiles. We recommend that you start with these three profile types:

  1. An institutional/university profile (for ATU staff, this is your ATU PURE Research Portal profile)
  2. An ORCID profile
  3. A bibliometric/impact profile (e.g. a Google Scholar, Scopus, or Web of Science profile)

There are several options available, and you can find out more about the most common research profiles by browsing the tabs in the left-hand sidebar.
