Welcome to the summer Research Impact Series!
This last year and a half has been intense, with so much going on it’s possible you’ve gotten a bit lax about keeping up to date with our research identities. Throughout this eight-week challenge, there will be some suggested tasks to get your online research presence in ship-shape so you’re ready to hit the ground running in the fall (all the materials can also be found in the research impact guide). Stop by Emily Boyd’s virtual office hours in the Virtual Couch Lounge every Thursday from 10-11 am with any questions.
Challenge One:
Your first task is to set up an ORCID ID. This unique identifier will help you differentiate yourself from other researchers with your same name. Your ORCID ID will also stay with you should you change your name for any reason throughout your career. Signing up for an ORCID ID takes only a few moments and is a key step to ensuring you get full and accurate credit for everything you publish.
If you have any trouble getting set up with ORCID please reach out. Otherwise, stay tuned for next week!
