Looking for a way to organize and share your scholarly work online that avoids some of the pitfalls of sites like ResearchGate and Academia.edu? ORCID is a not-for-profit organization enabling “transparent and trustworthy connections between researchers, their contributions, and affiliations by providing an identifier for individuals to use with their name as they engage in research, scholarship, and innovation activities.” ORCID allows for “unique IDs that you can use as a researcher to identify your academic work. The IDs help funders, publishers, scholarly societies, and other researchers to quickly find and distinguish your work from materials created by other researchers with similar names.”

We’ve created a Library Guide for faculty to learn more about ORCID. Use this Guide, along with information on the ORCID site to help you easily create your ID and connect your scholarly work.
