ORCID

Syracuse University is a member of the ORCID Community, and has an institutional subscription to ORCID.

How does this benefit me?

Because SU is an ORCID Community member, we can connect ORCID to our Faculty Portfolio System (FPS) so that individuals can easily import their publications from ORCID to FPS. Having your ORCID account connected to SU also helps the University more accurately track the research and scholarly activities happening across the University, and it helps ensure that your scholarship is accurately recorded for University record keeping and reporting purposes. 

How do I connect my ORCID account to Syracuse University? 

1. In the Employment section of your ORCID profile, make sure that Syracuse University is your current employer, and that your employment date says "to present". When adding Syracuse University as your current employer, use the following steps or refer to ORCID's instructions:
   • under "Employment" click the "Add" button, then type Syracuse University into the "Organization" box
   • Select "Syracuse University" from the options that appear. If your school or college pops up as an option, such as the "Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs", we recommend selecting the overall university, and not your individual school or college. 

If you have questions about setting up or managing your ORCID account:

• For basic set up questions, contact your Subject Librarian 
• For in-depth questions about your profile, including linking to other services/accounts, contact the Libraries' Research Impact Team (riteam@syr.edu)
• ORCID technical support
