  • Your Open Researcher and Contributor ID eliminates name ambiguity.
  • Your information and publications remain associated with you, even if you move to another institution or if you change your name.
  • Your unique ORCID ID number is used by publishers, funders, institutions, and other research-related services. It reduces the time spent on repetitive data entry by pulling information from other sources. Every time you want to submit an article or a grant request, you can simply use your ORCID ID.
  • The ID makes it possible to update your publications list from Web of Science, Scopus, Medline and other resources.
  • ORCID allows researchers to interlink with Researcher ID, Scopus, Google Scholar, Mendeley, LinkedIn, and other profiles.
  • The ORCID ID number stays with you throughout your career in research.

By sharing your ID with the Technion, and giving us permission to read and update your ORCID record, you enable us to help you keep your record up-to-date with trusted information, such as the verified affiliation (the name of the institution). Associating your ORCID ID with the Technion will connect your research output with the institution. It will increase the Technion’s visibility and its research impact throughout different information systems and databases.

ORCID allows you to manage your publications accurately, even if you have multiple names. In this page you will learn how to edit your name on ORCID. Your information and publications will remain associated with you, even if you move to another institution or change your name.

The “Education and qualifications” section of your ORCID record is for information regarding organizations where you have studied, and details regarding educational or professional qualification. You can add this information to your ORCID record manually, or your can grant trusted organizations and trusted individuals the permission to add and edit information with them. To learn more about it, click here.

Once you registered your Technion ORCID, the following employment details will be updated automatically on your profile: the Technion’s name and the name of your faculty. The details will be imported from the Technion SAP system. If you’re employed in more than one faculty, the name of the first one will be updated in ORCID, as it appears on SAP. If you are interested to add the name of the second faculty, you can do so manually.

If you leave the Technion for another institution, you will have to delete the Technion in the employment field. After that you can add the name of the other institution. If the new institution has an institutional ORCID, you can register for it to define your new employer as your trusted organization.

With your permission, ORCID will import articles from Scopus, Web of Science, Europe PubMed Central and CrossRef, if their citations have unique identifier (e.g., DOI, ISBN).

Current Research Information Systems (CRIS) help researchers and universities in the world improve the efficiency and performance of their academic activities. These systems enhance worldwide research visibility and collaboration, and advance the reliability and transparency of the national funding mechanisms.

The Israeli Inter University Computation Center (IUCC) is leading a national effort to establish a national CRIS for monitoring academic publications that will assist in the advancement and improvement of scientific research in Israel. Israeli universities, including the Technion, take part in this project that is carried out with the support of the Planning & Budgeting Committee (the Council for Higher Education).

In the future, your CRIS’s record at the Technion can be linked to your ORCID record. This will enable CRIS to retrieve publication IDs from your ORCID profile and use these IDs to find publications in CrossRef, PubMed and Scopus, and claim them for you automatically.

CRIS also can use your ORCID to directly identify publications in a wide range of data sources and claim those records for you automatically.

For any further questions and support, please contact your Faculty Library. Medical Faculty members who work in hospitals affiliated with the Technion may receive assistance from the hospital librarians.
