ORCID Integration: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Discover how researchers can use ORCID integration to secure a persistent digital identifier for their work and automate their professional records.
ORCID Integration provides researchers with a unique digital identifier to ensure their professional work is always correctly attributed to them across different platforms.
Who it's for
This system is designed for all researchers. Whether you are working in academia, a laboratory, or a private research institution, this identifier is intended to be used by anyone engaged in the production of professional research.
What you get
By using this integration, you receive a persistent digital identifier for your work. This means that no matter how much your name might change or how different research databases are structured, your specific body of work remains uniquely tied to your identity. This identifier acts as a permanent digital link that helps ensure your professional contributions are correctly recognized and easily searchable within the global scientific ecosystem.
What it costs you
There is no monetary fee required to use this service. The actual cost to you is the time and effort involved in the registration process and the initial setup required to ensure your identity is correctly established.
The catch to know
The most important step that many people miss is the synchronization between different platforms. To get the full benefit of this system, you must link your ORCID to your Lattes profile. If you do not perform this specific linking step, you will miss out on the automatic updates that keep your professional record current. Linking the two ensures that your data flows between systems, saving you from having to manually update your research history multiple times.
How to apply
- Complete the registration process to obtain your unique identifier.
- Log in to your existing Lattes profile.
- Locate the settings or integration section within the Lattes platform.
- Follow the prompts to link your ORCID ID to your profile.
- Verify that your research information is updating automatically as intended.
