Orcid Integration Guide

Problem: Name ambiguity in scholarly publishing
  - "J. Wang" could be thousands of researchers
  - Name changes (marriage, legal reasons)
  - Transliteration differences (Chinese, Korean, Arabic names)
  - Multiple institutional affiliations over a career

Solution: ORCID provides a persistent, unique identifier
  - Follows you across institutions and career stages
  - Links to your publications, grants, affiliations
  - Accepted by 1,500+ publishers and funders
  - Free and researcher-controlled

Step 1: Register at orcid.org
  - Use your institutional email (can add personal email too)
  - Choose a password
  - Set visibility defaults (public recommended for researchers)

Step 2: Complete your profile
  - Name and alternate names (include transliterations)
  - Biography (2-3 sentences about your research)
  - Education history (degrees, institutions, years)
  - Employment history (positions, institutions, years)
  - Keywords (5-10 terms describing your research areas)

Step 3: Link your works
  - Use "Search & Link" to pull in publications automatically
  - Supported sources: Crossref, Scopus, Web of Science, Europe PMC
  - Review each imported work before adding

Step 4: Connect to other systems
  - Link Scopus Author ID
  - Link ResearcherID / Web of Science
  - Connect institutional repository
