ORCID is interoperable with many scholarly and research systems, making it easier for you to fill out forms and profiles if your ORCID record is populated and current. In many cases, when your ORCID record is updated, the systems that you've linked your ORCID iD with will be automatically updated as well.
The following are a few examples of systems that work with ORCID. Each link provides instructions on how to link your ORCID iD with that system.
Linking your ORCiD to Elements makes it easy to keep your Elements profile up-to-date, by automatically claiming works associated with your ORCID iD or listed on your ORCID record. Below are instructions that describe how to add or remove your ORCID iD. If you'd like to learn more about how to use Elements, see Getting Started with Faculty Information System (Elements) from Pitt IT.
Managing your Web of Science (WoS) Author Record can increase the visibility of your research. Your author record can:
WoS is a multidisciplinary database that includes literature from the health sciences, social sciences, art and humanities, and other disciplines. It also includes research metrics such as article citation count, h-index, and the journal impact factor.
WoS automatically creates author records for those who have publications that appear in their database. These records can be claimed and managed so that you have control over what appears in your record. While anyone can view your record, users who don't have a WoS subscription won't be able to view features such as Author Impact Beamplots, author position analysis, and your top co-authors.
If you can't find an existing author record for yourself, you can still create one and add publications to it, whether or not your works are indexed in WoS. Keep in mind that citation metrics for non-WoS articles are not available.
Click on the researcher profile icon in the left menu. You'll be prompted to sign up with your email address and will receive an email that provides instructions for verifying your account. Feel free to use any email address--it doesn't have to be your Pitt account. You should also receive instructions on how to add works to your record, or see Clarivate's help guide on the topic.
The easiest way to add publications to your record is to connect your ORCID iD to your account. Doing so will also give you the option of keeping your researcher profile up to date when any changes are made on your ORCID record.
