Web of Science profiles

Create a profile: You have two options to create a profile:

We suggest that you start by searching for yourself using your name or ORCID in the "researcher" search in Web of Science (while on the UiB network/VPN), and claim the algorithmically generated author profile (if you have published, there is likely a profile already generated for you). You will need to remove any publications that aren't yours/add those that are missing (see the help guide linked below).
If you don't find a profile, you can start with an empty profile which you populate yourself, by registering for an account on Web of Science. If you already have a login for EndNote or Web of Science, you can use this same account. See guidance on creating an account from Clarivate here.

Tip: If you have accidentally set up duplicate ResearcherIDs, you can ask for these to be merged.

Edit your profile and add works: Clarivate have provided an extensive help guide for editing and adding works to your profile here.

Tip: If you already have an ORCID, you can import a lot of information from there to your WoS profile. Add Web of Science as a "trusted organization" in ORCID and adjust "Profile settings>ORCID sync" in Web of Science - this allows your profiles to keep each other updated automatically with works and peer review activity. See the Web of Science profile guide for help linking to ORCID.

Making a Google Scholar profile

Making a profile is quick, and makes your works more discoverable when people search for your name in Google Scholar. The video below shows how to make a profile. After making a profile, you can add any missing publications manually, or check for more found by Google. Click on the button in the heading bar above your publication list.

Note on the video: In step 3, "Settings", we recommend that you elect to get email notifications of new works that can be added to your profile, and do not let Google add them automatically. Google is not always accurate, or may add content types you do not wish to appear (e.g. blog posts).
