An author profile audit can help to differentiate you from other researchers with similar names, allow you to accurately demonstrate your impact for professional advancement, and help you to build a professional network.
We can help set up profiles and streamline the process of maintaining them. We can also identify and merge duplicate profiles. We will evaluate common author profiles (e.g., ORCiD, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, etc.).
This service is available to faculty and researchers at Louisiana State University and the LSU AgCenter. Complete the audit request, and we will contact you with our findings in approximately 2 weeks.
If you have questions about this service, contact Andrea Hebert (ahebert@lsu.edu).
Acknowledgment: This service is modeled after George Washington University's Himmelfarb Health Sciences Library's service created by Sara Hoover

LSU Libraries’ bibliometric services can provide publication and citation analytics on individual and departmental levels and analyze the impact of the publications produced by LSU researchers. In addition, we can
- provide information on the responsible use of metrics
- help users find and interpret journal metrics and rankings
- help researchers locate author-level metrics and select appropriate indicators to demonstrate research impact; and
- recommend post-publication strategies to improve the visibility of scholarship.

The LSU Libraries supports journal publishing for LSU faculty members who edit journals or serve on editorial committees and boards. The Libraries can help LSU faculty members establish journals, or migrate existing ejournals, and make them freely available. Journals hosted by LSU Libraries should be scholarly in nature and adhere to best practices in scholarly publishing (see, for example, Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing).

The LSU Scholarly Repository collects, preserves, publishes and makes openly accessible the research and scholarship contributed by LSU faculty, staff, students, and units. Research and scholarly archived materials can include articles, monographs, books, theses & dissertations, audio-visual presentations, working papers, technical reports, conference proceedings, special collections, data, and publicly funded research.
- Visit ORCID.org
- Click the SIGN IN/REGISTER link in the upper right corner and follow the prompts
- Make sure that your primary email address is your LSU address and that your current employer is Louisiana State University: Baton Rouge, LA, US.
- An ORCID iD will always link you to your work, regardless of changes to your name or institutional affiliation.
- Distinguishing yourself with an ORCID iD will ensure that you are properly credited for your work, that your H-index is accurate, and, by extension, that LSU is recognized for the work achieved here, positively affecting the university’s rankings.
- Anyone receiving a federal grant is now required to have a digital persistent identifier (DPI), like an ORCID iD.
- Save valuable time by linking your ORCID record to other platforms, like Scopus, CrossRef, and more. Information from those platforms will then appear in your ORCID record automatically. Libraries staff can help researchers connect their ORCID profiles to these sources.
- Conversely, many publication, submission, and grant application forms will be auto populated with information from your ORCID record when you log in to those entities with your ORCID iD.
- ORCID will also automatically populate the Elements system that has replaced Faculty 360, keeping Elements effortlessly updated.
- The Libraries can use ORCID searches to populate LSU’s institutional repository so you don’t have to.

Building and improving the accuracy of a researcher’s scholarly identity can increase a researcher’s impact. The following are ways we can assist faculty with maintaining their academic identities:
- ORCiD: A complete and accurate ORCiD record facilitates grant writing and disambiguates researchers with similar names. LSU Libraries can import article records for faculty.
- Web of Science: The Libraries can ensure that LSU researchers’ profiles in Web of Science accurately reflect their scholarly work, improving the reliability of the reported h-index.
- Google Scholar: The Libraries can audit public Google Scholar profiles for accuracy and assist with remediation.
- Scopus: The Libraries can connect a researcher’s ORCiD profile to their Scopus author profile.
- Author profile audit service: The Libraries can review the author profiles of LSU and AgCenter faculty and recommend specific steps to improve accuracy.
