In the scientific world, the identification of a scientist plays an important role, because it is from this that active communication with the scientific community and the powerful development of his scientific activity begins. The existence of a profile in which all valuable data about the author is indicated undoubtedly increases his status and authority in the scientific sphere (Scopus ID, Researcher ID, Google Scholar ID and ORCID ID).
The image of a scientist depends on many factors:
- publishing activity and stability;
- the number of scientific citations of the author's works;
- communication and cooperation between domestic and foreign colleagues;
- government support and grant funding for scientific research, etc.
The presence of active achievements and high indicators that can be tracked on the researcher's personal page helps him to confidently move in his sphere.
Therefore, in order to start sharing one's work, form the status of a scientist and prepare a fertile groundwork for further scientific activity, it is important for a scientist to have registration in one of the most popular specialized scientific services.
Today there is a fairly large number of them, and we will consider the most well-known ((Scopus ID, Researcher ID, Google Scholar ID and ORCID ID).
Scopus ID
This system was created by the media company "Elsevier" along with the Scopus database with the aim of reliable linking of author information to their publications. It is based on all the basic information about the scientist and their scientific work. The profile Scopus ID can be used even without indexation, but when a serious publication analysis is needed, registration is necessary.
The system creates a scientist's profile Scopus ID immediately after the publication of the first article, but if the scientist does not have a subscription, he will not be able to access the cabinet with one job. Only after the second publication will the researcher enter their profile Scopus ID without a subscription.
Only after the second publication, the researcher is able to enter their profile Scopus ID without a subscription.

The author can search Scopus ID for information using such data:
- Name/surname.
- Title of the annotation, article, journal.
- Keywords.
- H-index.
- Country.
- City.
- Language, etc.
Researcher ID
A Researcher ID number is automatically assigned when you have a publication in the Web of Science Core Collection. If you don't have one yet, you can contact the website support service to receive an ID number. Besides entering publications in Web of Science publications, a researcher can add information about publications in other journals that are not indexed in WoS.
Researcher ID helps speed up the search for colleagues and their work. Usually, registration in this system is more for personal purposes, such as placing your resume and publication information that you can provide to your management.
ORCID ID
The Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) identifies a researcher and helps to transparently track their publication activity. Like all other systems, ORCID ID holds the main information about the researcher's scientific activity. It has the form of a number and consists of 16 digits. Among researchers, scientific institutions, libraries, and publishers, this system has become very popular. Over 3 million users successfully use ORCID ID capabilities.

Google Scholar ID
Google Scholar registration. This free search system allows you to track your own article citations and calculate certain bibliometric indicators, as well as search among various sources.
Google Scholar helps you keep track of your references, search for copies of articles, see who is citing your work. The researcher has access to the annotations of works, the ability to create their own library of citations. The database of "Google Scholar" includes many peer-reviewed international journals, providing access to a large amount of useful information.
Finally, when registering in one of these systems or submitting information to the editorial board before publication (Scopus ID, Researcher ID, Google Scholar ID и ORCID ID), it is very important for the scientist to carefully check the data for errors, as this is the first thing that can cause problems with indexing and further citations and cause image problems for the scientist.
If you have any additional questions, or you are interested in improving your bibliometrics, feel free to contact "Scientific Publications." Let's create science together!
