ResearcherID.com is a freely available resource for the global, multi-disciplinary scholarly research community. After registering, you are assigned an individual ID number that stays with you over the course of your career, regardless of name changes or change in institution affiliation.
ResearcherID allows you to create an online Profile for showcasing your publication history. It is designed to associate you with your scholarly work, thus assuring an accurate record of output and attribution. It also provides a gateway for colleagues to quickly locate your published work and to identify you as a potential collaborator.
At ResearcherID.com, you can:
Update your biographical (Profile) information at any time;
Build your publication list by using the Web of Science™ Core Collection or Distinct Author sets or by uploading a file;
Manage your publication list with EndNote online;
Control who has access to your Profile by designating it as public or private;
View citation metrics for articles found in the Web of Science Core Collection; and

The tools include:

Once you create a ResearcherID account, your can then create an Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) record and obtain an ORCID identifier.
ORCID provides a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other researcher and, through integration in key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission, supports automated linkages between you and your professional activities ensuring that your work is recognized.
The Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID, Inc.) is a non-profit organization that aims to solve the author/contributor name ambiguity problem in scholarly communication by creating a central registry of unique identifiers. These identifiers can be used within various systems you may interact with in your professional research workflow, including manuscript submission, etc.
By creating an ORCID you will be able to link your ResearcherID account with this centralized registry.
