Drop-In Workshop: Plant Your ORCID to Cultivate and Grow Your Academic Profile

 

ORCID iD (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is the emerging international standard for academics to identify themselves unambiguously and be connected clearly to their public scholarly activities. What an ISBN is for a book, an ORCID iD is for a person. But it is far more than that. As a Linked Open Data hub, an ORCID profile allows individuals to authorize relationships of trust with specific organizations, including government funders, universities, and publishers. These relationships can allow organizations to update an individual’s profile and verify its claims (e.g., a publisher can add a verified record of a journal article authored by the individual immediately and automatically upon acceptance or publication). These relationships of trust also allow individuals to share their public information quickly and easily with designated organizations (e.g., filling out a university/grant/scholarship application with a couple clicks). The top of each hour will offer a 10 minute introduction to ORCID, while the following 45 minutes will provide guidance to faculty as you create, complete and start to leverage your ORCID profiles. Please bring your laptop or tablet!
