ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is a globally recognised, unique identifier that helps researchers, academics, and institutions accurately connect and manage their scholarly outputs. This session will guide participants on how to create, update, and optimise their ORCID profiles to ensure their work is properly attributed and easily discoverable. We will also explore how to link ORCID to institutional systems, funders, and publishers, streamlining research workflows and funding applications. Additionally, we will discuss best practices for maintaining a strong research identity, increasing visibility, and enhancing academic credibility in the digital research ecosystem. Whether you are a post-graduate student, researcher, or faculty member, this session will equip you with the knowledge and tools to leverage ORCID effectively in your scholarly journey https://www.digiface.org/events/orcid-webinar-how-to-maintain-a-strong-research-identity/ .
