Is a system of scientific researchers, linking the researcher's articles with his own knowledge. In this way, the researcher can keep his list of publications up to date and thus can give a comprehensive view of the author's scientific output, and also help connect the researcher with his colleagues from the same field of research. What is the benefit of the researcher
It helps the researcher to gain a clear credit for his/her work and is a useful tool for universities and journals to evaluate researcher's works. Online identity of the researcher is an important tool to establish a reliably identify of the author for publishing papers in a scientific journals or uploading and downloading journal articles .

It guarantees that a researcher is transparent concerning their positions to all other researchers.
Online identity of the researchers as well as keeping you updated with your area of interest
Exposure to the global researchers depending on the published works by the individual.
Dear Fellow scientists,
Although I agree with all that was said above, I have an ORCID and I do not feel that it works.
But maybe I am wrong!
It gives reader to explore the areas of interest of the author
and also becomes source of publicity for author
Having an online Identity of the researcher helps to promote his work.
Exposure to the global researchers depending on the published works by the individual.
All excellent responses. My thoughts to share:
- Online exposure helps to increase the author's credibility among peers in the field - opening the door to potential collaboration on future projects with researchers at other institutions. This is especially true for researchers who have constrained travel budgets and/or have limited access to industry conferences. Online forums (e.g. ResearchGate.net, Academia.edu) provide an excellent way to connect with others efficiently.
- For the reader, a clear & transparent online identify allow readers to review linkages with existing literature in the field, understand opposing -or- supporting evidence, and identify potential conflicts of interest.
- Lastly, for the researcher, online exposure can enhance access to future career opportunities (e.g. academia, consulting, corporate)
Excellent submission, I totally agree with Dr. Hamed Bazaz contribution. Online fora provide excellent ways to connect with other researchers globally.
Online Identity is a gateway to accessibility and visibility of your empirical contributions to the scientific community.
Totally agree with Mr. Bazaz. Also, the researcher's online visibility obliges him/her to increase the quality of his/her work in all ways, from experimental research to dissemination of results through articles, presentations, etc., aspiring to achieve comparable results to those of top researchers. In this way, the researcher improves himself and scientific research globally makes progress.
Not very !!! I mean active people do research , they might not be online like me !!!
Now people who want to market /sell /network may be it is relevant for them.
Much of the activity around the world now takes place online. Researchers store data online, communicate via e-mail, and of course, read scholarly articles published online. But there is more online than just one’s data. As with any other job, it’s very important for researchers to control their own online presence.
Here are some suggestions for improving your online visibility so that others find the information you want them to see.
1. LinkedIn
LinkedIn is a rapidly growing professional networking site. Many of you may already have LinkedIn profiles, but it may be time to improve them to maximize your impact. Your LinkedIn profile may very well be the top item on a Google search using your name, so be sure that the information there is accurate and engaging. Here are a few specific ideas:
----•Add a professional-looking photograph of yourself. Profiles without pictures are far less likely to be read. Use a photo that clearly shows your face and fills the entire space available for the profile picture.
---•Customize your profile's URL to include your name. This extra step will help increase traffic when people search for you online (for example, my public profile URL is http://www.linkedin.com/in/benmudrak). You should see your public profile URL underneath your picture on your profile page. Click 'edit' to choose your own (e.g., linkedin.com/in/FirstnameLastname). ---•Be sure to share your publication list, important conference presentations, editorial positions, etc. If it is important to you, you can find an appropriate section on your profile. LinkedIn offers a number of options for section headings, so choose the ones that fit you best. You can also customize which parts of your profile can be seen by the public (your entire profile will be visible to any of your connections).
2. ResearchGate & other social networking sites for researchers
---In addition to broad networking sites like LinkedIn or Facebook, there are sites geared specifically toward investigators. These sites provide an opportunity for members to discover new research (and sometimes full-text articles), find collaborators, and maintain another online profile that will show up when someone searches for you.
---One well known academic networking site is ResearchGate. On ResearchGate, users can build out their profile with information about their current projects, publications, and institution. It is an excellent way to connect with others in your field and across the research community.
3. Profiles focused on your research products
Most scientists want to focus on their research when creating an online profile. Specifically, the publication record is still the major highlight of one’s professional CV. Here are a couple of sites that specifically focus on your research. Creating and maintaining profiles on these sites will help others become aware of your productivity and help you see the impact your work has on the research community and greater public.
---•ORCID: A non-profit organization, ORCID provides a unique identifier for each researcher. This identifier helps make sure that you get credit for all your work, even if the name you publish under changes for some reason. When signing up for your ORCID number, you can fill in your profile to ensure that all your work is represented. One more reason you should get into this: there are almost 3 million registered ORCIDs as of January 2017. ---•ImpactStory: Another non-profit, ImpactStory lets you create an online CV of all your research products, not just published articles (data sets, websites, software, etc.). In addition to demonstrating the full picture of your productivity in one place, ImpactStory also provides information about how frequently your work is cited, mentioned, and discussed around the web. You can even embed your ImpactStory on your online CV or lab website using HTML from an "embed" link on your profile page.
---•figshare: figshare is a repository where researchers can deposit any research output for public access. Each object (e.g., a raw data set, movie, poster, or preprint) receives a DOI, so it's citable in peer-reviewed literature. Putting some of your work on figshare is an excellent way to present your true expertise to the research community (and provide access to data that others can build on).
---•Kudos: Kudos is not a research profile per se, but signing up for an account lets you provide more context for your publications and increase readership. You can read more about Kudos in our recent feature.
4. Twitter
Twitter is increasingly popular among scientists as a place to share opinions and recent publications, with instant feedback possible from colleagues around the world (including people you may never have the chance to talk to in person!). Consider signing up for a Twitter account and connecting to the sea of colleagues, journals, publishers, universities, and other groups already on Twitter. Some additional thoughts
---•Choose a short user name! You only have 140 characters in each tweet, and if someone wants to mention you, your name counts against that limit. Make it easy by going as short as possible while still being recognizable. ---•Look for hashtags used in your field. You will encounter these terms, which begin with the hash or pound symbol (#). Click on a hashtag (such as #peerreview) to find out what people are saying about that topic. Many conferences also suggest a hashtag so you can see tweets about the event, even if you're not there!
---•Use URL shorteners like bit.ly to help save space when you are sending links. If you include short links, you are more likely to be retweeted or mentioned by others.
5. Lab or group websites
Lastly, it is very helpful to maintain a current and detailed lab website (if applicable). Researchers do not always have control over their own website, but be sure to tell your university to update your publications list and section about research interests when necessary. You can also consider a lab blog, where you would control 100% of the content. Services like WordPress are free and not very difficult to use.

The online identity should be the definition of the researcher and a mirror for his/her acts in the real life.
This, in my opinion, gives publicity to his work. Without this presence in the public domain, there will be no such exchange of data and information. The researcher will remain famous in his office.
The significance of webutation will grow gradually, in science and research, within the next 20-30 years. All sorts of online tools will be improved, computation is already an accepted scientific method. We are just at the beginning of new scientific communication channels.
Online Identity is a gateway to accessibility and visibility of your empirical contributions to the scientific community.
Gives an opportunity to learn about the general and accurate competence of the researcher.
One stop, where all the information related to your key academic and professional credentials, can be listed and made accessible to the concerned audience. It is one of the best means to garner feedback about what you are doing and how well it is going down with the peers or all other concerned actors.
