It is important to manage your research profile. What does this mean exactly? You want to ensure that your scholarship and published research is identified with you. This can be a challenge, especially for those with similar (or the same) names to others. When possible, be consistent in the use of your name and use a version that can be identified with only you.
Create a profile and keep it current.
Sites that you can use include the following:
This is a site for managing and sharing research papers, discovering research and identifying potential collaborators. (A part of Elsevier)
