2. By the end of today’s session you will:
• know what an ORCID iD is and how it can benefit you
• know where you can use your ORCID iD
• have signed up for ORCID iD (if you haven’t already got one)
• have connected your ORCID iD to the University of Leeds
• know how to import works to your ORCID account
• have granted permissions to trusted organisations
• know how to manage your visibility settings
3. Quick poll
• Do you have an ORCID iD?
Go to www.menti.com
use code 23 18 94
4. If you do have an ORCID how are you (or not) using it?
5. What is ORCID?
• ORCID iD is a 16-digit unique identifier
• Distinguishes you from every other researcher
• Connects you to your work and affiliations across time, disciplines, and borders
• ORCID is an international, interdisciplinary, open, non-proprietary, and not-for-
profit organization
• You can link your ORCID iD to other identifiers, e.g. Scopus Author ID
6. Why?
• Connecting researchers with their professional activities can be tricky!
• Format of names: Victoria Allan, Viki Allan, V Allan, VJ Allan
• Researchers with the same name
• Names can change
• Transliteration is difficult
9. Sign up for an ORCID iD and connect with the University:
• First via self service
–https://selfservice.mais.leeds.ac.uk:444/irj/portal
–go to the ORCID ID tab, select “Create and connect your ORCID id” and enter your personal
details
• Then via Symplectic
–https://publications.leeds.ac.uk/login.html
–go to “My Actions”, select “Add ORCiD” and register your details.
• If you are a Postgraduate Researcher: go straight to www.orcid.org and register
10. Help improve Symplectic’s ability to match your publications
• Automatic claiming
–Menu > Publications > Automatic claiming
• Reduce the time it takes to keep your profile up to date
• Other identifiers which can be used in this way include:
–Scopus author IDs
–ResearcherIDs
–email addresses
• Default option is to “Auto claim publications” (recommended)
–Auto suggest / Auto reject / Ignore
• Help > Automatically Claim Publications Guide
11. Importing works into your ORCiD account
• Directly import your work from databases rather than you having to type it all in
• Log into your ORCID account: https://orcid.org/signin
• Go to Works section, +Add works, Search and Link
• Select a database that matches your geographic or subject areas
• Click on Authorise
• You can then find your work and import it
• Import Bibtex from Symplectic
12. Trusted organisations
Trusted organisations are those to which you have granted permission to interact
with your iD and record, e.g. when submitting a manuscript or grant application.
You decide whether to grant this access and you may revoke it at any time
–https://support.orcid.org/knowledgebase/articles/131598
• Any system you have authorised via ORCID (e.g. Symplectic)
• Read items on your ORCID record that are set to be visible to everyone or just
to trusted parties
13. 3 visibility settings
Everyone Only by trusted parties Only by me
To see what your public ORCID record looks like, click on View public version located under your
ORCID iD at the top left of your record.
15. Where could you display your ORCID iD?

When submitting to some journals you can log in with your ORCID
Science Open
When you use your ORCID iD, many of the form fields are filled in automagically from your ORCID record, saving your fingers and your sanity.

Your ORCID iD is always publicly visible, and you control the visibility settings for all other content in your ORCID record.
If information on your record is set to “visible only to me”, can it be viewed and updated by trusted parties? – no. This limits how useful this information is, as it can’t be accessed and updated by trusted parties and therefore limits the time-saving benefits of your ORCID iD
Which setting should you use … - visible to trusted parties or visible to everyone
The default visibility setting when you create your record is everyone, except for your email address, which is set to only me. You can choose your own default settings using the Visibility preferences option in your ORCID account settings.
You can change the visibility setting for each item individually, enabling you to choose which you want to display publicly or only share with trusted parties, for example. The visibility settings for some sections can be changed in bulk by clicking on the visibility icon and selecting everyone, trusted parties, or only me from the bulk edit setting. To see what your public record looks like, click on View public version located under your ORCID iD at the top left of your record.

Get them to chat to the person next to them and discuss where they could display their ORCID iDs.
Display your iD on your:
- Institutional profile page
Email signature
Conference presentation
- Media stories
- CV
- Anywhere you have a public profile, e.g. blog, website, social media
(leading to benefits of increased discoverability for you and your work, and spreading the word – the more people use ORCID, the more we all benefit)
