Gradually you will be able to use your ORCID iD with further services at the TUM. For example, it is planned to provide options for registering your ORCID iD when you publish on mediaTUM(link is external), the TUM's institutional respository, or when you apply for grants from the TUM Open Access Publishing Fund.
Already now, you can benefit from the following advantages:
- Submitting Publications
Many publishers and funders require you to provide your ORCID iD when submitting papers or applying for funding. The aim is to ensure that you are unambiguously distinguished from other authors and that your publications are correctly attributed to you.
- ORCID Record
Regardless of your institutional affiliation or any job changes, you have the possibility to present your academic profile on an independent site, to register different variants of your name and to link to other author profiles such as Web of Science's ResearcherID(link is external) or Scopus Author ID(link is external). Privacy settings allow you to modify the visibility of your details.
- ORCID in Literature and Citation Databases
When you provide an ORCID iD with all your publications and the ID will subsequently be listed in the bibliographic records of literature databases, literature retrieval will be facilitated and your papers will unambiguously be attributed to you. Furthermore, you can ensure that all your publications listed in literature databases contribute to bibliometric indicators such as citation rates or h-index.
