Open Researcher and Contributor Identifier (ORCID) is a persistent identifier that points to an individual researcher, helping to reduce the administrative burden associated with manually managing a scholarly profile.

This workshop, a combination of presentation and question & answer period, will introduce research IDs and how to create one using ORCID, as well as how to increase an ORCIDs credibility by affiliating the record to an institution, such as the University of Waterloo.

• Understand what a researcher ID is Know how to generate a researcher ID using ORCID
