Research Impact Metrics: Locating, Evaluating, and Using

A researcher profile system that hosts searchable expertise for faculty and TAMU organizations by gathering data from institution-level/enterprise systems, publicly available research data (e.g., grants and publications), and other authoritative sources. The data is compiled into a profile that you can edit to best represent your scholarship and expertise.

Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) is both a standard and a service to help researchers establish and maintain their scholarly identity. ORCID helps distinguish researchers with similar or identical names, differences in spellings or translations of names across languages, and change in their name or affiliations over their career. ORCID iD is available to any scholar who wants to obtain an ORCID iD and manage their record of research activities.

A researcher profile provided by Google Scholar, a freely accessible web search engine that indexes the full text or metadata of scholarly literature across disciplines.

A researcher profile system for all individuals who apply for, receive or are associated with research funding from federal agencies (e.g., NIH and NSF).

A social networking site for scientists and researchers to share research, ask and answer questions, and find collaborators.
