Anybody can register for an ORCID ID in minutes. There are no special requirements for ORCID membership. Having an active scholarship record helps you make the most of your ORCID ID.
You can link your ORCID ID to UGA Elements, SCOPUS, Author ID, ResearcherID, Digital Science Dimensions. ORCID is integrating with other systems rapidly.
If you haven’t registered for an ORCID account, you will not have established one. But if you are unsure whether or not you registered, read the Check section of our ORCID@UGA Registration page.
UGA Elements currently uses your ORCID ID in three ways:
Publication searches will automatically claim any publications associated with your ORCID ID
Your ORCID profile publication list will act as another source of publications for the Elements search engine to populate your Elements publication list
You can authorize Elements to write to your ORCID profile your publications and affiliation information.
When you create an ORCID account, you have full control of the privacy of your information. Be sure to review the Privacy Settings in your account to customize access to your information. Privacy Settings include the options of making your information Public, Private, or available to Trusted Parties.
A Trusted Party is an organizational member of ORCID with which you can connect your information. For example, UGA is a Trusted Party member of ORCID. You will always be asked to authorize access to your information by Trusted Parties; every portion of your data can be assigned one of the three levels of privacy: Public, Private, or available to Trusted Parties.
