HOW-TO: External Profile IDs

OVERVIEW

There are five fields in the 'User Profile’ panel for entering users’ external scholar IDs: Google Scholar ID, Semantic Scholar ID, DBLP, ORCID and OpenReview ID.

DBLP ID

Finding a DBLP ID is more involved. We provide the detailed steps below.

CMT-Required DBLP ID Formats

The DBLP ID that users enter into the CMT user profile page needs to be in one of the following formats.

  • 227/2109
  • d/JohnDoe

Finding your DBLP ID on dblp.org

  1. Go to the DBLP page (https://dblp.org/)
  2. Type your name in the search field

  1. From the Exact matches and Likely matches, click the link that belongs to you. It will take you to your DBLP home page. Once there, click on the ‘share’ icon, and copy your persistent URL.

External Profile

Persistent URLs can be in one of the following two forms.

  • https://dblp.org/pid/227/2109
  • https://dblp.org/pid/d/JohnDoe

Extract DBLP ID from Persistent URL

Remove 'https://dblp.org/pid/' from the persistent URL.
This will leave either the numeric or name string with a single “/” (forward slash) like the following.

  • 227/2109
  • d/JohnDoe

Homonymous Names

If there are more than one entry for your name, there will be a digit(s) after the string.

  • https://dblp.org/pid/227/2109-3
  • https://dblp.org/pid/d/JohnDoe2

Your DBLP ID would look like the following.

  • 227/2109-3
  • d/JohnDoe2
Note

There is no '-' between ...'Doe' and '2'

Entering DBLP ID in CMT

Once you have your DBLP ID, enter it in the 'DBLP Id' field.

Note

Any formatting other than described above is unacceptable.
For example, entering the entire persistent URL will be invalid.

OPENREVIEW ID

Click the OpenReview ID link. It will take you to the 'Finding your profile ID' page of the OpenReview website.
