Faculty: Claim your citations to enable tracking, mapping and record keeping services 

Web of Science makes digital citation tracking and publication records accessible for faculty, helping to maintain proper credit for published work. The Office of the Vice President for Research is asking faculty to go into Web of Science and claim all of their profiles to make sure proper credit is given for their citations. If an author has multiple citation records and all are not claimed under their profile, the publication and citations credits may not credit the author or may have a record incorrectly assigned to an author. Instructions on how to claim your faculty citations can be found here: Author Record (clarivate.com).
