ORCID and Researcher Profiles

Publons is an online research profile website for researchers to track, verify and showcase their peer review and editorial contributions as well as their publications and citation metrics.

Publons is now part of the Web of Science group which provides products such as Web of Science, Journal Citation Report, InCites, EndNote, etc.    

For peer reviewers, Publons provides a way to get credit for contributions (without breaking reviewer anonymity) in a format they can include in promotion and funding applications.

ResearcherID is now included in Publons profiles.
