The Health Sciences Library will host a webinar series on scholarly profiles and communicating research impact while meeting funder requirements. The webinars will be held via Teams.

Historically a particular author's contribution to the scientific literature or publications has been hard to recognize as most personal names are not unique, they can change (such as with marriage), have cultural differences in name order, contain inconsistent use of first-name abbreviations and employ different writing systems.

ORCID addresses this problem by providing a persistent digital identifier (an ORCID iD) that you own and control, and that distinguishes you from every other researcher. Creating an ORCID iD allows authors to obtain credit for their work – grants, publications, peer review, affiliations, and more.

Stefanie Lapka, health sciences librarian, will teach how to create your ORCID iD, set up and manage your ORCID record, and connect your ORCID iD to the tool SciENcv (Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae).

You are cordially invited to this webinar on Wednesday, April 12 at 12:00 p.m. An Outlook calendar event is attached to this email.
