ORCID enables transparent and trustworthy connections between researchers, their contributions, and affiliations by providing a unique, persistent identifier for individuals to use with their name as they engage in research, scholarship, and innovation activities. Using an ORCID iD allows your manuscripts, grants, and other scholarship to be more discoverable and integrated within larger research networks.
The easiest way to populate your SciENcv biosketch is through an ORCID iD. If you do not yet have an ORCID iD, go to ORCID @ UA, create a new ORCID iD and connect it to The University of Arizona. If you already have a ORCID iD, you can connect your iD to UA.

When you’re ready to link your ORCID iD with SciENcv, go back to your My NCBI account and sign in again (if you are logged out) and follow these steps:
1. When you are logged into NCBI, click on your username in the upper right corner and choose "Account settings" from the drop-down menu:

2. Scroll down to “Linked Accounts” and click on the “Add account” link:

3. Type ORCID in the search box and then click on ORCID in the Available 3rd-party partners panel.

4. You’ll be re-directed to your ORCID login page to log into ORCID and authorize the connection between your ORCID account and NCBI.

You should now see your ORCID account listed in your Linked Accounts.

5. Click on your username in the top right corner of the webpage to return to your NCBI Dashboard and go to SciENcv.
