Researcher Identifiers

Other profiles and platforms

There is a range of other public profiles, and collaborative platforms, that may be valuable to you as a researcher.

If you have one of the following profiles or create one in the future, make sure that you add a link to it in the Website section of your ORCID profile:

  • Twitter
  • LinkedIn
  • Mendeley
  • Social Science Research Network (SSRN)
  • BioRxiv
  • Loop

Some issues to keep in mind:

  • Do you have the publisher's permission to upload your paper to a social network such as Academic.edu or ResearcherGate?
  • Does your organisation have a social media policy? If so, make sure you are adhering to it.
  • Do you use social media personally and professionally? Consider creating separate accounts for each purpose.
  • You must still adhere to copyright licencing conditions when using these sites.
