It might happen that you have the same exact name as some other researcher(s). And, when fellow scientists try to look up your publications, they are often swamped by other irrelevant papers (from the other researchers) popping up on their screen. Thomson Reuters created the ResearcherID, which is a unique identifier that expressly associates each participating researcher with his or her published work, thereby standardizing and clarifying author names and citations.
With the ResearcherID system, publications can be added from diverse platforms ranging from ISI Web of Knowledge to EndNote Web and RIS files. Additionally, citation metrics can be created and your h-index is computed automatically.
As a bonus, your unique ResearcherID can be used as a ResearcherID Link on your website to direct others to your publication list.
It'd probably worth it if your name is too common!
