ORCID is an effort to create and maintain a registry of unique researcher identifiers and a transparent method of linking research activities and outputs to these identifiers.
Helsinki University Library provides ORCID support. You can enter your ORCID into your personal TUHAT info.
ORCID allows and encourages you to link your ORCID record to other identifiers, e.g. Scopus Author ID, or to link to ORCID from your ResearcherID record. This will synchronises publication data with the ORCID record. The ORCID web site maintains a list of institutions and organizations with established ORCID programs in place or in progress.
Web of Science ResearcherID is a unique identifier for researchers on Publons. It is ORCID compliant, allowing you to claim and showcase your publications from a single one account.
Scopus also gives authors a Scopus Author ID, but you cannot create it yourself.
The enormous increase in the number of publications in any field means that it is more difficult for a researcher to keep track of recent publications. For an author it means that it is more important to make you, as an author, stand out from the rest, and give your publications more visibility so they won’t be overlooked. Here are some tips on how to do it.
There is also a service, titled Kudos, to showcase your research, recommended to researchers at University of Helsinki.Click the image below to start using it.
