From today (Monday 12 June), Pure – the University鈥檚 research information system –聽will be able to automatically update researchers鈥� ORCiD profiles on
An ORCiD is an unique researcher ID which is fast becoming the international standard used to disambiguate authors. ORCiDs sit behind a researcher鈥檚 name in an institutional repository, a funder鈥檚 database, publisher鈥檚 website or even on a Twitter account, to pull together all of a researcher鈥檚 outputs and involvements. Increasingly publishers and funders are requiring researchers to have ORCiDs.
For those who’ve already entered their ORCiD into Pure and want updates to be sent automatically, you’ll need to edit your Pure profile to consent to this feature.聽Please see the Pure Manual: 鈥� for further guidance on how to do this.
If you’ve not already added your ORCiD to Pure, simply click on 鈥榚dit my profile鈥� on your Pure profile and add or create your ORCiD.聽Updates to your ORCiD profile will happen automatically.
If you’ve not already added your ORCiD to Pure but would prefer not to automatically update your ORCiD profile, please for further help.
If you have any questions or queries, you can聽contact the Pure and ORCID project team聽by emailing:聽pure@soton.ac.uk
