ORCHID and SCOPUS : organize your research profile
When
your research activities happen across multiple sources, it can be a challenge
to organize and distinguish your work from that of others. The solution?
Establish an ORCID record so you can better manage this challenge. ORCID.org, a
non-profit community-driven organization, offers a transparent way for you to
link your research activities and outputs to one unique identifier. Through a
partnership between Scopus and ORCID.org, you can connect your Scopus author ID
and publication records with your ORCID identifier. Once the two IDs are
linked, visitors to your Scopus Author Profile page can click on your ORCID
number to access your complete author record in ORCID. Click here to review and send your Scopus Author details
to ORCID.
Watch
this short video to learn more about Scopus and
ORCID.
Tip:
Scopus allows you to search for an author by ORCID number. From ‘Author Search’ go to the ORCID box and enter
the ID you wish to find.
Learn more about
ORCID on their website, visit ORCID’s news page, or follow ORCID on Twitter
