ORCID – Open Resercher and Contributor ID

ORCID is an international system for identifying authors of scientific and scholarly work, regardless of scientific discipline or affiliation. It solves the problem of duplicate author names, different spellings of the author's name, and clarifies the identity of individuals who have changed their name or affiliation. To learn more about the ORCID identifier, download the PDF or see the this presentation (by Krzysztof Gościniak).

Please, note! For those who have not already set up their profile on www.orcid.org, please watch the instruction videos and generate your ORCID number individually.

First steps in ORCID

This video details all the information needed to register a user in the ORCID database (YouTube, 5 min. 59 sec.).

The presentation discusses the most useful options available after registering in ORCID (YouTube, 14 min.9 sec.).

The video (YouTube, 7min. 2 sec.) presents the fastest way to add bibliographic descriptions to your ORCID account - transferring them from the "SUM Publication Database". The instructional video available at the link demonstrates all the steps of this process.
Please, note! Please note that in order to transfer bibliographic descriptions to ORCID you should save them in files with the extension ".bib" with a maximum of 50 records each. You will then need to go to our ORCID account and upload each file separately in the 'Works' section. This way of transferring data is due to the inability of the ORCID database to work with large files. Tutorials on this issue will be updated shortly.

This video (7 min. 22 sek.) has been developed for those authors who have already uploaded bibliographic descriptions of their publications to their ORCID account and only wish to supplement their output with the missing items included in the ""SUM Publication Database". The database in question offers the possibility to save selected records in a file with the extension ".bib". After uploading to ORCID, the work of a given author will be supplemented with the missing items.

This video (YouTube, 6 min. 1 sec.) shows step by step how to manually add bibliographic descriptions of your works to the ORCID database.

The tutorial (YouTube, 13 min. 58 sec.) consists of two parts. The first is devoted to how to link the ORCID account set up by the author with the author's profile in SCOPUS. The second presents the process of downloading a user's bibliography from ELSEVIER's database and uploading this data to their ORCID account.

"Polish Scientific Bibliography" (PBN) enables the transfer of bibliographic descriptions of a given author - to ORCID. It is also possible to synchronise descriptions in PBN with analogous descriptions in ORCID. Video shows how to use both functionalities (YouTube, 5 min. 20 sec.).

The tutorial focuses on the use of a special wizard to link accounts on 'ResearcherID' and ORCID and the two-way transfer of information (personal data as well as bibliographic descriptions of the user's publications) between the two databases. A special instructional video, has been produced which details how to register and add works in "ResearcherID" (Youtube, 10 min. 59 sec.).

This tutorial explains how to use the creator to transfer bibliographic descriptions from the „Europe PubMed Central” database to your ORCID account.

The video (YouTube, 6 min. 58 sec.) shows the entire process of transferring data (bibliographic descriptions) from "Google Scholar" to an ORCID account set up by the user.

The instructional video (YouTube, 15 min. 18 sec.), which introduces the attitudes of handling "ResearcherID" - demonstrates how to register and copy papers from "Web of Science" to your account on "ResearcherID".

Linking an ORCID account with PBN and POL-on:

This video (YouTube, 2 min. 53 sec.) presents the registration process in the "Polish Scientific Bibliography" (PNB).

This video (YouTube, 3 min. 34 sec.) in its first part presents the process of linking an account on orcid.org with an account in the 'Polska Bibliografia Naukowa'; the second part deals with linking an account in PBN with a POL-on identifier.
