Simply stand out: Streamlining researcher profile maintenance to showcase your institution’s excellence.- August 23rd, 2023 10:00 AM EST
 
Online profiles help researchers and university leaders showcase high-value outcomes to build their reputation and attract external investment and partners. However, keeping profiles up to date is proving difficult, and an independent study commissioned by ExLibris showed that only about half of surveyed researchers consider their profile to be fully updated and about a third say it is not up to date at all.
 
Librarians are key advisors to faculty and administrators on the tools available to help them be successful. With Web of Science Researcher Profiles, your researchers can build a publicly visible 360-degree view of their scholarly contribution while simplifying the maintenance process via comprehensive ORCID integration and automatic updates. University research managers can then seamlessly integrate this rich profile data into institutional portals with the Web of Science Researcher API.
 
Join us for a discussion of how recent Web of Science profile and API developments help your researchers and administrators streamline profile maintenance.
