ORCID at Brandeis University

This guide is intended for faculty and student researchers. It contains information about the Open Researcher and Contributor iD (ORCiD) registry, including how to get, use, and connect your ORCiD.

ORCiD for Health Sciences & Policy

More and more journals and grants are requiring an ORCiD. If you want to learn more or create one, check out the Getting Started with ORCiD and Using ORCiD pages. If you're interested in how ORCID can be used in the Health Sciences, read on!

How can you use your ORCID account?

  1. Connect your ORCiD account to PubMed. ORCiD's Search & Link wizards allow you to import data about publications from databases such as PubMed. Once you start using your ORCiD with your publications PubMed will automatically update your ORCiD account. Take a look at our Using ORCiD page for more info.
  2. Set up your NCBI account to sign in with ORCiD. Take a look below to find out more.
  3. Import ORCiD citations into SciENcv. Take a look below to find out more.
