Researcher Identification Systems

ORCID identifier - provides a persistent digital identifier that is independent of any institution or proprietary system. An ORCID iD is increasingly a requirement for submissions to journals and funding agencies and can be used with other systems to gather and display your work.

Web of Science Researcher Profile and Scopus Author Identifier can be connected to your ORCID ID.

If you have more questions about connecting your ORCID iD to other systems, additional resources from University Libraries are available:

Distinguish Yourself

Author "name ambiguity" is a big problem in the research community, with many researchers having the same or similar names. Unique author identifier systems have been developed to address this problem. Some advantages to registering for a unique identifier are

to distinguish your work from that of other authors
to link your works together when calculating research metrics
to make it easier to link your work to researcher profile systems
to link your works together when you have published under a different name or variations of the same name
some journals and funding agencies have begun to require ORCID IDs when making submissions.
