Author Searching

Any author with a paper indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection has an author record.  To conduct an Author Search, click on the "Researchers" tab, enter author names in the format shown in the examples in the search boxes. Web of Science will attempt to auto-complete names based on its own records.

  • You can search for an author by name or their author identifierClosed.
  • By default, Name Search is selected; click the drop-down arrow and select Author Identifier if you want to search for an author’s Web of Science ResearcherID or ORCID.

Author Search Results

  • The search results page lists author records that match your search. If there is only one author record associated with the author you’re searching, the author record automatically opens and bypasses the search results page.
  • Refine your search results by author name, organization, and subject category to retrieve more relevant results.
  • You can start a new author search directly from the search results page. Click the search box located below the number of search results to open a pop-up window.
