You can easily find the total number of publications you have if you have an updated profile in ORCID (or Web of Science/Google Scholar), as shown in Module 1. However, numbers of publications in various categories can add more context. For those with short publication lists, it may be faster to count these manually, but for those with long publication lists there are various options for finding estimates:

1. How many of each publication type do I have?

In ORCID you can sort your "works" by type, allowing you to count the number of various types (e.g. datasets vs. journal articles).
If all your works are in CRISTIN (the Norwegian Research Information System), you can log in using feide, and look at "My results". On the results page, a filter for "Category" is in the left margin.
In Web of Science, find yourself in "Researchers" search using your ORCID or Researcher ID. Once on your profile, click on the "XX publications" link under "Web of Science Core Collection metrics" to view your results in usual Web of Science results interface. Here you can use the filters for type (e.g. review articles). See how to find yourself and be familiar with coverage in Web of Science before use.
- Health - An alternative to WoS is PubMed: Find your works using the "Author" field in Advanced search. Note you may have author ambiguity problems; a safer way is to collate the PMIDs of your works, and search for these. Once you have your works as a results set, you can filter by type (e.g. reviews, RCTs).
- Law - Lovdata PRO advanced search can be used to find specific types of works by specific authors. But for some types, author search is not possible, and keeping a record online/manually is recommended.

2. How many of my publications are open access?

Note, here it can be hard to get completely reliable data, but you can get estimates
In Web of Science, find yourself in "Researchers" search using your ORCID or Researcher ID. Once on your profile, click on the "XX publications" link under "Web of Science Core Collection metrics" to view your results in usual Web of Science results interface. Here you can use the "Open access" filter to get an estimate of how many are openly available via green, gold or bronze OA. See how to find yourself and be familiar with coverage in Web of Science before use.
You can also try searching in the Dimensions database, which tries to determine how many publications have green, gold and hybrid open access.
- Go to app.dimensions.ai to enter the free version of the Dimensions database
- Search for yourself using your ORCID in quotation marks - or find one of your articles, and click on your name in the author list.
- Check that the resulting publications are yours
- On the left hand side are a number of filters, including "Open Access", where number of publications in each category is displayed.
While CRISTIN does have an open access filter, this filter cannot distinguish between uploaded full texts that are available vs. uploaded full texts that are not currently available (e.g. that are embargoed). Thus, the numbers may not be accurate.

Tip: See the library webpages for advice about how to make your work more open

3. How many first/last author papers do I have?

In Web of Science, find yourself in "Researchers" search using your ORCID or Researcher ID. On your author page you can see number of publications you have first/last authorship on, and total number of publications. See how to find yourself and be familiar with coverage in Web of Science before use.
- Health - An alternative to WoS is PubMed - find your first/last author works using the "Author - First" or "Author - Last" fields in Advanced search. Note that you may run into author ambiguity problems; a safer way is to collate the PMIDs of your works, and search for these. Then search within this set for those where you are first/last author.

4. How many papers do I have in a specific journal?

In Web of Science, find yourself in "Researchers" search using your ORCID or Researcher ID. Once on your profile, click on the "XX publications" link under "Web of Science Core Collection metrics" to view your results in usual Web of Science results interface. Here use the "Analyze results" button to view a breakdown by journal title. See how to find yourself and be familiar with coverage in Web of Science before use.
