The Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) is a permanent identifier system for researchers that provides a persistent 16-digit numeric identification number (e.g. <\/em>http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5109-3700<\/em><\/a>)<\/em> to distinguish you from all other researchers.\u00a0<\/p>\n If you have published before you are likely to have a ResearcherID or Scopus Author ID, or may have publications indexed in CrossRef. ORCID allows you to easily import information from those systems into one online identity. The identity numbers are then stored in a central registry.<\/p>\n Stellenbosch University (SU) became a member of ORCID in 2015. The development of the SU integration with the ORCID registry is nearly ready for roll-out. Academic staff, researchers and master\u2019s and doctoral students will all receive an e-mail towards the end of February <\/strong>where they will be asked to create an iD and connect this iD with Stellenbosch University. Those who already have an ORCID iD will be asked to only connect and confirm their institutional affiliation.<\/p>\n We would like to encourage all researchers and academic staff to get an ORCID iD if they don\u2019t have one yet. Further developments will allow us to integrate these iDs with researcher information systems, the institutional repository (SUNScholar), grants and contracts and HR systems. There is already a link on the InfoEd system where you can link to your ORCID iD and the National Research Foundation became a member recently and are planning to incorporate ORCID in their national CV system. Read more <\/a>\u00a0about funders and enabling platforms mandating the use of ORCID.<\/p>\n More information and frequently asked questions are available on the library guide, ORCID and other researcher identifiers<\/a>. You are also welcome to register for an ORCID workshop<\/a> which will be presented on 24 February.<\/p>\n For enquiries or to make an appointment for a short information session at your department<\/u>, please contact Mari\u00e9 Roux<\/a>, Tel.: 021-8082623 or your faculty librarian.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n [:af]<\/p>\n Die Open Researcher and Contributor ID<\/em> (ORCID) verskaf \u2018n permanente 16-syfer numeriese identifikasienommer (bv. http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5109-3700<\/em><\/a>) <\/em>om sodoende jouself van alle ander navorsers te onderskei.<\/p>\n Indien jy al tevore gepubliseer het, het jy heel moontlik \u2018n ReseacherID of Scopus Author ID, of selfs publikasies wat in CrossRef ge\u00efndekseer word. ORCID laat jou toe om hierdie inligting van ander stelsels na een aanlynidentiteit in te trek. Die identifikasienommers word in \u2018n sentrale register gestoor.<\/p>\n Universiteit Stellenbosch (US) het in 2015\u00a0 \u2019n lid van ORCID geword en is nou op die punt om universiteitsrekords met die ORCID register te integreer. Alle akademiese personeel, navorsers en nagraadse studente sal teen einde Februarie<\/strong> per e-pos genooi word om \u2019n ORCID iD te skep en dit met hul universiteitsrekord te skakel. Diegene wat reeds oor \u2018n ORCID iD beskik, sal gevra word om hul iDs met hul universiteitsrekord te skakel en hul US affiliasie te bevestig.<\/p>\n Ons wil graag alle navorsers en akademiese personeel aanmoedig om vir \u2018n ORCID iD te registreer indien hulle nog nie oor een beskik nie. Verdere ontwikkelings sal ons in staat stel om iDs te integreer met navorsingsinligtingstelsels, die institusionele navorsingsbewaarplek (SUNScholar), befondsing en kontrakte en MH-stelsels. \u2018n ORCID skakel is ook reeds beskikbaar op die InfoEd stelsel waar jy jou ORCID iD kan skakel en die Nasionale Navorsingstigting het ook onlangs as lid aangesluit en beplan om ORCID in hul nasionale CV stelsel te integreer. Lees hier meer<\/a> oor befondsers en ander platforms waar die gebruik van ORCID vereis word.<\/p>\n Meer inligting is beskikbaar op die biblioteekgids, ORCID and other researcher identifiers<\/a>. Almal is ook welkom om te registreer<\/a> vir die ORCID werkswinkel wat op 24 Februarie aangebied word.<\/p>\n
