The Library is coordinating an effort to introduce ORCID identifiers to the campus. ORCID is an open, non-profit initiative founded by academic institutions, professional bodies, funding agencies, and publishers to resolve authorship confusion in scholarly work. The ORCID repository of unique scholar identification numbers aims to reliably identify and link scholars in all disciplines with their work, analogous to the way ISBN and DOI identify books and articles.
Brown is an institutional member of ORCID, which allows the University to create ORCID records on behalf of faculty and to integrate ORCID identifiers into the Brown Identity Management System, Researchers@Brown profiles, grant application processes, and other systems that facilitate identification of faculty and their works.
Please go to https://library.brown.edu/orcid to obtain an ORCID identifier OR, if you already have an ORCID, to link it to your Brown identity.
Please contact researchers@brown.edu if you have questions or feedback.
