Adding ORCID ID to your ACRIS profile
Why should I get ORCID ID?
ORCID helps you easily and reliably link your unique identity with contributions such as datasets, articles, books, media stories, samples, experiments, patents, and notebooks. It enables interoperability and allows you to connect with other identifier systems, including those maintained by funders and publishers, and exchange data freely with research information systems.
How do I get an ORCID identifier?
Register for a free and fast ORCID ID on the . You'll receive a 16-digit number (e.g., 0000-0000-1234-5678) that can be used when submitting publications, applying for grants, and in research workflows.
Who can connect ORCID with ACRIS?
ORCID–ACRIS integration is available for current Aalto University researchers and doctoral students with an active ACRIS profile.
Master and bachelor students, alumni and former employees cannot currently connect ORCID via ACRIS.
If you are a master or bachelor student or alumnus, you can still use ORCID independently and connect it directly with publishers and funders.
Adding ORCID to your ACRIS profile
- Log in to ACRIS at and click on Edit Profile.
- Under the Metadata tab (should be the default option) click the Create or Connect your ORCID button to proceed.
- Read the data transfer description and click proceed
- If new to ORCID, register an account. If you have an existing ORCID, log in with your credentials.
- After authorizing, you'll be redirected to your ACRIS profile, where the ORCID will now show. Remember to save your profile record.
Note: You can revoke permissions for exporting information from ACRIS to ORCID at any time.
How Aalto University uses ORCID
Aalto University uses ORCID via ACRIS to ensure that researcher affiliations and research outputs are accurately and reliably linked to individual researchers.
By connecting your ORCID iD with ACRIS:
- your Aalto affiliation can be added to your ORCID record
- selected research outputs can be exported automatically
- your research profile stays consistent across systems
Using your ORCID ID elsewhere
The ORCID standard is being adopted by many types of organisations, including research funders and publishers. Here are a few examples of integration:
- : ORCID helps build a public researcher profile in Research.fi using information from your ORCID record and your home organisation.
- Publishing: use your ORCID ID to log in to manuscript submission systems in journals such as PLoS One, Genome Biology published by BioMed Central, or any journals using the ScholarOne manuscript submission systems used by major publishers.
- Pre-prints: link your arXiv account with ORCID.
- Reference management software: used in EndNote, either to import references from ORCID or to populate your ORCID record.
- Databases and citation reports: use ORCID to make sure the data held about you in databases like Web of Science, InCites, SciVal and Scopus is correct
