Q. How do I create a Researcher ID for use in the Research Profiles and Repository? 

The ORCID ID is an identifier distinguishing you from every other researcher. It also supports automated linkages between you and your professional activities ensuring that your work is recognised. 

If you already have an ORCID ID, you can add this to Research Profiles and Repository by following the instructions in the Research Profiles and Repository: Guide. 

Once linked, all your research outputs in the repository will feed through to your ORCID profile by harvesting data from ORCID ID. 

Additionally, you should also link your Scopus Author ID. You can add this to Research Profiles and Repository by following the Research Profiles and Repository: Guide. 

You may also link Researcher identifiers (IDs) such as Google Scholar and Web of Science to your Researcher Profile. Advice for other profiles and platforms can be found in the Researcher Identifiers Subject Guide.
