ORCiD (Open Researcher and Contributor ID)

This guide gives an overview of ORCID, how to populate your ORCID profile, and instructions for integrating your ORCID iD with various systems.

ORCID handles duplicates based on the DOI (digital object identifier), the persistent handle of the work. If two entries have the same DOI then they should automatically collapse into one entry; however, if one or more of the entries do not have the same DOI listed, each work will be separately listed. 

 Example: 

                               

To fix this, you can manually delete one record in your ORCID account by clicking on the trash can icon in the record. It is best to keep the record that lists the correct DOI. 

To pull information from ORCID that's not listed in PURE, you will need to manually authorize and select research outputs to import:

1.   Sign into your Pure Research Profile account. The link is found at the bottom of the Pure homepage.

 

2.  From your Pure homepage, click on the plus sign next to research outputs (you will have to hover over the research outputs link). 

3. Click import from online source. Then, select ORCID.

 

4. Select research outputs from the results list to import. 

If a Pure Research Profile publication record does not list a DOI, you can manually enter it into the record as long as the record is listed as editable (see below for clarification). For the ORCID integration, it is important that your research outputs contain DOI numbers to avoid duplicate records. DOI numbers are also important for your research itself, as DOIs are the permanent link attributed for access to the research output.

1. Log into your Pure Research Profile. 

2. Click on research outputs.

3. Find whether your record is under editable or under my research output. If it's under editable, you will be able to add the DOI number once clicking on the record. If it is not under editable, you can e-mail the University Libraries' Pure administrator at pure@augusta.edu. 

If Scopus does not list all of your publications, you may have more than one Scopus Author Identifier. This occurs when Scopus isn't able to confidently match a publication to an existing author identifier, so it creates a new one; matching is based on certain criteria using an algorithm. Author identifiers can be merged by following the directions below.

Example:

1. Select the two profiles you want to merge.

2. Select request to merge authors.

3. You will then be prompted to review the profiles and the research affiliated with each profile before clicking submit request. You will receive a request ID number and your request will be reviewed, which can take several weeks.  

If you do not see an option for connecting ORCID in your PACT account, this means that you are not logged in with your JagNet ID and password. This typically occurs when someone else has permissions for viewing and editing your account, such as an administrative assistant, who is logged in with their JagNet ID and password. 

Example:

 

Simply log out and log back in using your own credentials and the ORCID option should now be there:

Scholarship listed under the University's Faculty Directory syncs from Digital Measures/PACT profiles. Populating ORCID and integrating with Digital Measures/PACT ensures accurate and verified bibliographic listings for public faculty profiles.

Unless published and indexed, conference presentations can only be manually entered into ORCID, PACT, and Pure.                                                      For directions, see manually entering research into ORCID iDs.

  • List of works in ORCID and Pure are not grouped by type, such as publications and conference presentations, but are instead included in one single list. This means that when you integrate ORCID to your PACT account, PACT will be pulling more than just publications to import; however, you can designate the works you wish to import and skip importing those which are not publications. 

 

Only grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are currently listed in Pure.
