ORCID researcher identifier

University of Oulu supports the use of ORCID in Finland. The ORCID Connector service links your ORCID ID to the information systems of the University of Oulu after which your ORCID is saved also in your OuluCRIS researcher profile. When included in your profile ORCID is transferred with publication information into the national systems and could be utilized e.g. by the Academy of Finland.

Create and connect your ORCID ID

ORCID resolves confusion arising from name changes, researchers with the same name, or different ways of writing a person’s name. ORCID also enables your research outputs to be automatically linked to each other and will, over time, reduce the need to enter the same personal and publication data into many different systems. Many publishers and research funders require the use of ORCID ID.

Ensure visibility for your research and link your ORCID to the information systems of the university following the button below. If you do not have an ORCID ID yet you can create it at the same time.

Linking publication information from databases to ORCID profile

Publication information can be transferred to an ORCID profile from a variety of systems and databases. The available transfer options and the extent of the data transferred vary between services: in some systems, information is updated automatically, while in others the transfer is a one-time process or publications must be selected individually for import. The instructions below provide more detailed information about the transfer options available in different services.

Publication information can be imported to your ORCID profile not only from OuluCRIS but also from a variety of other databases and services. ORCID provides dedicated guidance that brings together the import options available from different services.

The methods for importing records and the extent of the information transferred vary between services. Therefore, it is advisable to review and, if necessary, supplement the imported information in your ORCID profile.
