ORCiD ID LogoDistinguish Yourself in Three Easy Steps

ORCiD provides a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other researcher and, through integration in key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission, supports automated linkages between you and your professional activities ensuring that your work is recognized.

Step 1 - Register or Connect

1. Get your unique ORCiD identifier or Connect your Existing ORCiD identifier with Brandeis via ScholarWorks

 

Step 1: Log into ScholarWorks at https://scholarworks.brandeis.edu/.

Step 2: Click the "Edit profile" button above your photo on the left side of the page.

Step 3: Under the Researcher Identifiers section, click "Register or Connect your ORCID ID"  and follow the steps. You will be prompted to make Brandeis a trusted institution, if it is not already.

For questions or help, please contact librarypublishing@brandeis.edu.

Step 2

2. Starting in 2024, if you have made Brandeis a trusted partnet, ScholarWorks and ORCiD will sync. This means that your profile data in ScholarWorks, and specifically your affiliation and scholarship list, will sync with your ORCiD profile so both of your profiles reflect the full range of your work. This is significantly more efficient for you and will help promote your work by making sure your online presence reflects you.

By request, scholarship can be pulled from ORCiD to ScholarWorks. 

Contact librarypublishing@brandeis.edu for more information.

3. Use your ORCiD

Include your ORCID identifier on your Webpage, in your email signature, when you submit to publications or apply for grants, and in any research workflow to ensure you get credit for your work.
