ORCID at Brandeis University

Distinguish 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.

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

Step 1: If you do not yet have an ORCiD:

• Register for one using your Brandeis credentials https://orcid.org/institutional-signin. Authorize Brandeis as a Trusted Organization when prompted. 
• Alternatively, you can create an ORCiD account at https://orcid.org/register

Step 2: Log into ScholarWorks at https://scholarworks.brandeis.edu/.

Step 3: Click the "Edit profile" button above your photo on the left side of the page.

Step 4: Under the Researcher Identifiers section, click "Register or Connect your ORCID ID." You will be prompted to make Brandeis a trusted institution, if it is not already.

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

2. Enhance your ScholarWorks record

For now, you are advised not to do this. The Online Faculty Profile Core Project Team will advise when profiles are ready for your review. However, it is important to note that in 2022, ScholarWorks and ORCiD will sync. This means that your profile data in ScholarWorks, and specifically your full 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.

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.
