Researcher Identity Management

A Persistent Unique Identifier (PID) is used to distinguish between and locate different objects, people, or concepts. A Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is used to locate specific digital objects, such as journal articles. Other PIDS are ORCiD a PID for researchers, and ROR a PID for research organizations. 

ORCiD

We strongly recommend all researchers create and maintain an ORCiD profile to manage their researcher identity. Anyone can register for an ORCID. An ORCiD profile can easily share data between systems:

• UTC’s performance management tool Watermark/Digital Measures
• Federal funder researcher identity tools SciENcv and BioSketch
• Publisher researcher profiles such as ScopusID and Web of Science ResearcherID
• Journal submission and review portals

Contact us to schedule consultations, trainings, and workshops on creating and optimizing researcher identity profiles.

SciENcv

SciENcv has been adopted by many federal agencies for researcher identification. For guides on using SciENcv to create biosketches and other required grant documentation, visit the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs sciENcv guide.

Research Impact

Contact us to discuss how to develop a research impact story using a range of publication metrics. Impact stories can be for individual researchers, research labs, departments, or other groups.
