Web of Science researcher profiles are the next stage in the evolution of Clarivate’s researcher profile offering after replacing Publons. This migration of Publons profiles into the Web of Science occurred to combine Clarivate’s two researcher representations (profiles and Web of Science author records) into Clarivate’s pre-eminent researcher-facing platform and simplify the experience of those researchers and administrators tracking their research outputs.

If you had a Publons profile, you will now find it in Web of Science.

Due to the sheer size of the migration from Publons to Web of Science not all features could be completed in time for launch. In addition, some Publons features were intentionally not migrated due to lack of use.

3. On the next page, you'll see groups of articles written by people with names similar to yours. Add all articles that you have written. If you publish under several different names, you may need to do several searches to add all your papers.
4. Once you're done adding articles, it will ask you what to do when the article data changes in Google Scholar. You can either automatically apply the updates to your profile, or you can choose to review them beforehand.
5. Finally, you will see your profile. This is an excellent time to add a few finishing touches - upload your professional-looking photo, visit your university email inbox and click on the verification link, double check the list of articles, and once you're completely satisfied, make your profile public.
