ORCiD identifiers - what are they and why do I need one? - for Research Postgraduates and University Staff
For students, this session forms part of the Reading Researcher Development Programme (RRDP) for Research Postgraduates.
Please note that this session will be of most benefit to those who already have publications.
Following the session you will be able to:
• Understand why you need to create an ORCiD identifier (ORCiD ID)
• Create an ORCID ID and add your research outputs to your profile
• Know how and when to use your ORCID ID in your professional scholarly
activities.
The first part of the session will introduce you to the ORCID identifier. The second part will enable you to create your own ORCID and populate it with help from the tutor.
If you are a Research Postgraduate, please book your place through Reading's Student Information System (RISIS). The timetable can be viewed on the RRDP webpage in the 'Things to do now' section. You can also view a full timetable in the Doctoral and Researcher College site on Blackboard.
If you are University Staff, please book your place via UoRLearn.
