Distinguish Yourself in Three Easy Steps

ORCID provides a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other researcher and, through integration in key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission, supports automated linkages between you and your professional activities ensuring that your work is recognized.

You may use your BU Account to log in or create an ORCID account. 

 
How to register for an ORCID iD.

REGISTER

CONNECT ORCID ACCOUNT

1. Connect your ORCID account to your BU Account

Connecting your accounts means that you will be able to log in using a BU account rather than having to remember a separate username and password for ORCID every time. You will also be able to "pull" information from your ORCID account into your Binghamton University record. To connect your ORCID ID, navigate to https://orcid.org/signin and click on the "Institutional account" tab. Once you select Binghamton University as your home institution and sign in with your ORCID credentials, your ORCID will be linked to Binghamton University. For all future logins to ORCID, just select the institutional account option and sign in with BU credentials, your ORCID credentials will not be required.

ADD YOUR INFO

2. Enhance Your ORCID Record

Add your professional information and link to your other identifiers (Scopus, ResearcherID, LinkedIn). Connect with CrossRef, DataCite, Publons, and more! Add publication data to your ORCID record by using the Search and Link Wizard, importing your citations as a BibTeX file, or entering them manually.
