Personal identifiers 

If you are an academic or scientific worker (i.e., excluding technical-economic and administrative staff), a doctoral student, or another publishing member of the academic community, we recommend that you create a personal identifier. The registration process, i.e., the method and circumstances of registration, are laid out in the Rector’s Directive No. 26/2023 (available in Czech only) on the Registration of Creative Activities at Charles University. 

Setting up personal identifiers will help you in several ways. Sooner or later, you may come across an author with the same name as yours, or as a result of transferring records between database systems, yours will be listed with typos. Personal identifiers– unique accounts attached to your identity as an author – have been created to remove these barriers. These will serve you in the future, for example, when searching for citations (be it for the habilitation procedure or other purposes), for your presentation, for applying for grants or trips abroad, or as public proof of your publishing activities.
