Creating a researcher identifier provides a way of distinguishing between authors with the same name, and of automatically updating your publication lists in certain cases.

No. These networks do not guarantee that publications will be preserved in the long term. Additionally, they are private companies, based on uncertain economic models. In their terms of service, they reserve the right to use any publications uploaded. It is thus better to deposit research in an open institutional archive (HAL) and to create a direct link, or a pdf title page with a link to HAL if a file is obligatory.
