Q. How can I identify my Fields of Research (FoR)/Subject area?

The Researcher Profiles platform, when linked to external Researcher Profiles, should include all of an author’s publications along with the FoR for each publication. See this example for details.

You will need to check your publishing history for all journals to add to your WSU Researcher Profile.

Instructions:

1. Create your Researcher Profile on the following platforms:
   • ORCID iD Researcher Profile
   • Web of Science Researcher Profile
   • Google Scholar Profile 
2. Once you have your external Researcher Profile accounts set up, add the publications attached to these researcher profiles to your WSU Researcher Profile record.
3. To add FoR against your listed publications, log into the WSU Publication portal. Go to the page Publications since 2016 without Field of Research (FoR) codes sorted by Researcher. Click on 'Edit FoR’. Nominate and save up to three FoR per publication (note: the ABS provides all classification codes for each FoR listed in your Researcher Portal).

Contact your School Librarian for assistance.
