ISNI code, IdHal, researcherID, IdRef… You have certainly come across these different identifiers in databases and library catalogues. These are researcher identifiers or author identifiers, i.e. permanent alphanumeric codes assigned to an author. This code can be created automatically by a database, but the researcher can also, in some cases, create it himself and manage its different identifiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A researcher ID allows you to :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are many researcher identifiers, each associated with a database. Some are created automatically, others are created by the researchers themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
IdRef is used by the catalogues Calames<\/a>, Sudoc<\/a>, theses.fr<\/a> and Pers\u00e9e<\/a>. It is managed by Abes<\/a>, Agence Bibliographique de l’Enseignement sup\u00e9rieur. On its page entitled Production et enrichissement des notices d’autorit\u00e9<\/em>, the Abes underlines : \u00ab IdRef est interop\u00e9rable<\/strong> avec les principaux identifiants internationaux (ISNI<\/a>, VIAF<\/a>, ORCID<\/a>, wikidata)<\/a>. A l\u2019\u00e9chelle nationale, IdRef est reli\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019identifiant ARK<\/a> utilis\u00e9 par la Biblioth\u00e8que nationale de France \u00bb. For each new authority record, Abes automatically creates a new identifier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n VIAF stands for Virtual International Authority File. It is a collaborative project of several national libraries that aims to establish correspondences between authorities in different national files in order to simplify the management of authorities and improve access to information.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n ISNI is an international ISO code that uniquely identifies people and organisations. BnF is the registration agency for ISNI identifiers in France, but it is the International ISNI Attribution Agency (ISNI-AA) that centralises the management of identifiers. The ORCID format is compatible with ISNI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Scopus ID is created by Elsevier when an author publishes an article in one of the journals indexed in their database. The Scopus Id author profile shows the Orcid Id: indeed, the two Ids are interoperable. It is thus possible to automatically add publications from the Scopus database to your Orcid profile. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n The HAL<\/u><\/a> platform allows you to create an IdHAL identifier, unique identifier allowing an author to group all his publications under a single main form. In your IdHAL profile, you can fill in your different researcher IDs: ArXiv, IdRef, Researcher ID, VIAF, ISNI, Orcid, IDP INRA.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n The ResearcherID is an identifier created by Thomson Reuters. It is associated with the Web of Science<\/a>. It allows immediate updating of publications and indicators from the WoS or Endnote web. To obtain a ResearcherID, you must have at least one publication indexed on the Web of Science and create an account on Publons<\/a>. It is possible to import your publications into your Publons profile via the Orcid login.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n The Orcid<\/a> system works as a bridge between the different identifiers. It is presented as a central entry point that links all the other systems: ScopusID, IdHAL, ResearcherID, VIAF, ISNI, ArXiv, ISNI… It allows to collect all the publications of a researcher in one point. It can also be used to import all the publications of a researcher into the researcher profile of Scopus or the Web of Science for example.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Each database has its own identifier, independent of other databases. This means that your ResearcherID profile, for example, will only show your publications in the Web of Science. However, it is possible to link your identifiers to each other, in order to centralise all publications under a single identifier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ORCID<\/strong> allows you to add to your list of publications<\/u><\/a> data from different organisations: HAL, Scopus, Crossref, ResearcherID (WoS), Europe PubMed Central, ISNI, BASE… It is also possible to indicate your ORCID number in your different profiles (ResearcherID, Scopus, HAL…) so that your ORCID profile is automatically updated with the publications published in these databases<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gianna Sergi, on the research notebook of the libraries and archives of the Coll\u00e8ge de France Colligere<\/a><\/em>, has written a relatively complete tutorial<\/a> to link all the researcher identifiers together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n For more information: <\/p>\n\n\n\n ISNI code, IdHal, researcherID, IdRef… are researcher identifiers.
