What is ORCID?
ORCID provides researchers with a unique identifier – an ORCID iD – and links their research outputs and activities to their ORCID iD. Many systems used by publishers, funders, and institutions include ORCID integrations.
Connect your ORCID iD to FSU
FSU is working with ORCID to collect iDs for our faculty and connect them to the information about your research activities stored in our systems. Please visit https://orcid.fsu.edu/ and click on the “Create/Connect your ORCID iD” button to authorize the collection and use of your ORCID iD in FSU’s systems. If you have not yet registered for an ORCID iD, you will be prompted to do so as part of the process.
Why register? Your ORCID iD enables you to:
• Distinguish yourself from other researchers
• Manage your identity, despite changes in name, gender, profession, or institution
• Ensure that you are accurately linked with your research, contributions, & affiliations, to get credit for your work
• Improve the visibility of your contributions
• Save time on repetitive data entry for funding, publishing, & research reporting workflows
• Keep track of all of your affiliations & contributions in an interoperable, trustworthy platform throughout your career regardless of changes in name, institution, & discipline
The Office of Faculty Development and Advancement has developed an integration between ORCID and FSU’s Faculty Expertise and Advancement System (FEAS). This integration streamlines the process of importing information about your research contributions into FEAS. More information about this integration is available here.
Faculty who wish to benefit from this integration are encouraged to register and/or connect their ORCID profiles and then begin importing works to their profiles following these instructions. A short video tutorial on the process of importing works is also available at https://vimeo.com/236776451.
To learn more, please visit the new ORCID @ FSU website. You can also contact orcid@lists.fsu.edu for assistance with creating, connecting, and populating your ORCID profile.
