ORCID @ UNLV: ORCID for Faculty

You can use your ORCID to import information into your UNLV Folio record.

Under Vitas & Biosketches, click ORCID Registry or the bubble labeled Create or Connect your ORCID ID. This will take you to the ORCID logon page where you can sign in to your existing ORCID account and link it to UNLV Folio.

You will now have the option to Import information from your ORCID record to UNLV Folio. You can import scholarly works, funding, education and employment information from ORCID.

You should also make sure to add your ORCID in the Profile section of UNLV Folio. Select Profile from the left-hand menu.

Scroll down to the Author/Researcher Identification data field and click Add. Then enter your ORCID and any other identifiers you wish to include in the appropriate fields.

Import/export your citations between ORCID and other systems such as Google Scholar or Academia.edu using BibTeX files. Check out ORCID's tutorial. (If your citations cannot be exported in BibTeX, don't worry! There are other ways to update your account. See the "Using ORCID" page for more information.)

BibTeX is a platform-independent, plain-text format used for bibliographic citations. BibTeX files can be created and edited using many popular reference management tools, such as Google Scholar Citations, EndNote, Papers, etc.

To import a list of works saved in a BibTeX file into your ORCID record:

1. In the works section of your record go to Add works, then select Import BibTeX.

   

2. Click Choose File to open the file menu, then select the BibTeX (.bib) file you want to import.

   

3. The publications from the file will appear in a list. Select the save icon (disk) next to a work to add the work individually, the delete icon (trash bin) to delete the work individually, or Save all to add all of the publications at once.

   

4. The publications will appear listed under works in your record.

At this time the Libraries Institutional Repository, Digital Scholarship@UNLV has no integration with ORCID. The UNLV Libraries has asked the vendor to incorporate ORCID into the Digital Scholarship@UNLV platform but as yet the vendor is not providing this functionality. User publications in Digital Scholarship@UNLV overlap with multiple databases and so the Libraries recommends using these databases to pull in content to your ORCiD profile. Cross-Ref, Scopus, and Google Scholar are sources that will most likely overlap with Digital Scholarship@UNLV and the information above on this tab provides guidance on how to use these sources to populate an ORCiD account.
