How do I link my Researcher ID (Web of Science) to ORCID?

To link your Researcher ID (Web of Science) to ORCID:
1. Join Publons and find your publications on Web of Science
2. Export the publications from Publons to ORCID

1. Login to ORCID and click on the “Add Works” button on the Works section of your ORCID record.
2. This will display a template for you to enter citation information and set access control on this item.

Non-Latin script character sets with Unicode encoding are supported for display and search of ORCID records and the ORCID Registry. Citations in non-Latin script can be added to your profile manually or imported if the exporting database supports these characters.

Sometimes the same publications might be imported to ORCID from different sources (e.g. from both Web of Science and Scopus). Before importing your publications from the various databases, please check which source has the most publications.

Your ORCID ID is always publicly visible, but only you decide who can see your ORCID data.
You can define three different visibility levels for each part of your ORCID record: everyone, trusted party, only me.

To connect your ORCID to the Technion, please choose “public” or “trusted parties” privacy level.
You can change your privacy settings for each item in your ORCID account at any time.

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.
