Managing Your Scholarly Record with ORCiD

Create your ORCID iD at ORCiD@Pitt. During the process you'll be prompted to grant trusted status to the University of Pittsburgh. If you already have an ORCID iD, you can still login with your existing account through the ORCiD@Pitt portal to grant trusted status. Doing so gives Pitt permission to:

• View information on your ORCID record that has visibility settings set to Everyone or Trusted Parties.
• Populate your ORCID data into local systems to assist with publication reporting.
• Write to the employment section of your ORCID record, showing that your employment information came from an official source.

You can adjust your record's visibility settings and remove trusted status to organizations anytime. See the section Manage Account Settings of this guide to learn more.

This page includes instructions for:

• Signing up for a new ORCiD
• Connecting an existing ORCiD to Pitt

1. Navigate to ORCiD@Pitt. You may wish to open this in a new page to follow the instructions side-by-side.

2. Click Create and Connect your ORCID iD. Sign in with your Pitt username and password.

3. Fill out the form on the following screen with your information.

NOTE: ORCID will try to find other records with similar names. After submitting this form, review the records to verify that you don't have an existing account already. Have multiple ORCID iDs? Contact ORCID for assistance.
