SUMMARY:ORCID for UTSA Researchers
DESCRIPTION:How can you ensure that your scholarly works online are correctly attributed to you and not to another researcher with a similar name? ORCID can help. It is a free\, unique\, persistent identifier (PID) for individuals to use as they engage in research\, scholarly\, and innovation activities across the globe. UTSA researchers are now required to have an ORCID iD to meet funders’ mandates for federally funded research. Whether your field is in sciences or humanities\, take advantage of ORCID to tell a story of your research impact. Learn how to maximize the benefits of ORCID\, how it can help you save time\, and how to set up automatic updates to keep your ORCID record current. \nRegister for this eventPresented by: Natasha Arguello\, Emily Johnson\, and Rachel Davis of UTSA Libraries
