ORCID
ORCID (Open Researcher & Contributor ID) is an open, non-profit, community-based effort to provide a registry of unique researcher identifiers and a transparent method of linking research activities and outputs to these identifiers. The ORCID community includes individual researchers, publishers (e.g. Nature Publishing Group and Elsevier), universities and research institutions (e.g. MIT and CERN) and societies (e.g. APS and OSA).
ORCID Registry is available free of charge to individuals, who may obtain an ORCID identifier. In ORCID Registry, the researcher may maintain his/her publication list and transfer publication information automatically from ACRIS.
Why ORCID?
- ORCID allows you to distinguish yourself from other researchers and helps you to get credit from your own work. It keeps your information even if your name or organization changes.
- ORCID is interoperable with many research systems (e.g. ACRIS, Scopus, Crossref) and information can be transferred between the systems.
- Some research publishers (e.g. PLOS ONE, Science) and research funders require researchers to have ORCID.
- Finnish Research Information Hub uses ORCID to link researchers to their research outputs.
- ORCID will, over time, reduce the need to enter the same personal and publication data into different systems.
Use ORCID id
- alongside the names of authors of scientific publications and other research output
- when peer reviewing
- to link various reference database IDs (ResearcherID, Scopus Author ID)
- on your own website or blog
- in your email signature, CV, and other services that handle information pertaining to your research
Connecting your ORCID with ACRIS
Instructions on how you can connect your ORCID with ACRISCheck your publication list in ORCID. If you have imported publications from more that one source, it's possible that you have duplicates. If this happens, you can remove duplicates manually.
