ORCiD for Academics

Academics are encouraged to sign up for and register their ORCiD with the University.

There are a number of ways you can use your ORCiD to make life a little bit easier and maximise the benefit of setting up an ORCiD. One of these is enabling auto-claiming of publications associated with your ORCiD with University systems.

See the Sign up or connect an ORCiD via Aurora guide for step-by-step instructions.

Things you should do with your ORCiD

  • Step 1: Populate your ORCiD profile

    Once you have registered for ORCiD, you can populate your record with key information about you as a researcher. This includes adding published works to your ORCiD profile, grant and funding details, biographical information, or adding delegates to edit your profile on your behalf.

    Refer to the Populate your ORCiD guide for step-by-step instructions.

  • Step 2: Link it in your Researcher Profile

    You can create a link on your Researcher Profile to your ORCiD. Refer to the Add ORCiD to your Researcher Profile guide for step-by-step instructions.

  • Step 3: Provide it to publishers

    Your ORCiD can be provided to publishers (some already require this), allowing them to link your ORCiD to your publication.

    This will also enable online databases to accurately link your name to this publication, which will also enable internal University systems like Aurora to harvest your publications.

  • Step 4: Provide it to your funding bodies

    Some funding bodies require researchers to provide an ORCiD when submitting applications. In Australia, the ARC and NHMRC have issued advice that they support the use of ORCiD.

    The University encourages researchers to provide their ORCiD when submitting applications using RMS (ARC), RGMS (NHMRC) and any other national or international schemes which request your ORCiD.
