ORCID digital identifier for Elements and other platforms

ORCID is a free service that provides researchers with a unique ID that can be linked to their scholarly output. The UGA Office of Research is encouraging all faculty to sign up for an ORCID ID. The office also encourages graduate students on an academic track to sign up, as this allows UGA to more easily follow the work of students.

ORCID and Elements cross-pollinate, so users can populate their Elements profile from an ORCID profile or vice versa. ORCID tracks not only publications and conference presentations but also exhibits, performances, and other work. Deborah Stanley and Mariann Burright of the Libraries developed a website hosted by the Libraries or you can view the attached PowerPoint for more details.
