Abstract

The digital identity of the researcher is crucial to represent their academic and profes- sional work through online platforms such as academic profiles, scientific publications, participation in social networks and international collaborations. Its effective manage- ment improves the visibility and impact of research, also facilitating collaboration and rapid dissemination of results. However, it presents challenges such as data privacy, managing multiple profiles, and impact assessment based on online metrics. In summary, a strong digital identity is essential for academic integrity and professional development, but requires careful management to optimize its benefits and mitigate its risks.
