Claim your online scholarly presence: ORCiD

Abstract

Claiming, maintaining, and tracking research output is crucial to a researcher’s continued visibility and impact. Tracking scholarly output and cultivating information about a researcher's work is made possible with online scholarly profile tools. As the most widely accepted unique identifier for authors, ORCiD IDs are increasingly required for: paper submissions to journals, grant submissions, and various NIH research training and career development awards. Attendees participated in hands on activities to set up profiles, and discover more information about tracking their impact going forward, and utilize existing connections between different scholarly profile tools. Learning objectives: • List reasons why maintaining scholarly profiles is important to researchers • Describe the benefits of several scholarly profile tools • Set up and/or update your scholarly profile(s)
