BUILD YOUR SCIENTIFIC BENCHMARK
Cutting-edge science grows faster when we share our work, our data, and our stories. As a Young Researcher, you can lay the foundations for a lifelong scientific presence in just a few hours by creating (and actively curating) profiles on key platforms:
Claim your unique researcher ID
Register at
ORCID.
One persistent ID keeps all your papers, datasets, and grants linked to you, even when your name or affiliation changes.
Showcase your publications
Upload manuscripts, figures, and excellent results to ResearchGate and Google Scholar . These portals feed citation trackers and make your work searchable by colleagues worldwide.
Network beyond academia
A concise, up-to-date
LinkedIn
profile turns conference contacts into long-term collaborators and invites industry partners to find your expertise.
Leverage field-specific repositories
If you work in medicine or the life sciences, be sure to populate the
Polish Platform of Medical Research
(PPM) — a consortium repository used by seven medical universities to display people, projects, and patents in Open Access form.
Track and celebrate impact
Tools such as
Altmetric,
OurResearch, or
Publons
help you monitor downloads, peer-review contributions, and social-media mentions — a quick pulse-check on the real-world reach of your science.
Remember: openness accelerates discovery. By planting digital “flags” on the portals above, you create a living benchmark of your productivity that recruiters, collaborators, and funders can trust. Keep each profile tidy, update it after every milestone, and watch your scientific network — and your influence — grow.
"Because in research, as in life, sharing truly is caring."
