What is ORCID?

An introductory video on ORCID:

 

ORCID provides a free, persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from other researchers. Through integration in key research workflows, such as manuscript and grant submissions, it supports automated linking between you and your scholarly activities ensuring that your work is identified.

  • ORCID allows you to attribute all your research outputs correctly and to distinguishes you from other researchers with the same name.
  • The library cannot create an ORCID identifier on the researchers' behalf.
  • ORCID is permanent, and belongs to you only. Changes in home organisation or your name do not affect your ORCID.
  • Publishers and research funders are integrating ORCID into their submission and application processes.
  • Unlike other identifier systems, ORCID is an open and community-driven system that transcends disciplines, geographic regions, and different types of content.
  • Find out more at ORCID.com.
  • Other benefits of ORCID at researcheridentifier.fi.

UTUCRIS - ORCID integration

Publications and affiliations can be synchronised from UTUCRIS to ORCID. If you want to enable this feature, follow the instructions on this page to connect your account.

Please read the ORCID privacy policy and ORCID terms and conditions before continuing. By authorising the export of content from UTUCRIS to ORCID you allow your data to be processed outside the EU.

Details of data transfer

  • What is transferred: First name, last name, e-mail address, publications, affiliations
  • For what purpose: managing your ORCID identifier

  • To which country: United States

Once your ORCID is connected to your UTUCRIS profile, the following information is automatically exported from UTUCRIS to ORCID on a daily basis:

  • Your institutional organisational affiliation
  • Other personal identifiers (e.g. Scopus author ID, Researcher ID)
  • Your UTUCRIS portal URL
  • Your research outputs, if:
    • the publication status is either "E-pub ahead of print" or "Published"
    • the visibility of the record is "Public - No restriction"
    • the publication has been validated by the library

Publications found in UTUCRIS before the ORCID connection, can be transferred to ORCID. Contact researchportal@utu.fi, if you have publication records that you want to transfer to ORCID.
