Simplify your research life with ORCID

The University Libraries manages the institutional subscription to ORCID. Librarian Teresa Schultz is the main administrator; you can email her at teresas@unr.edu.

You can email Librarian Teresa Schultz at teresas@unr.edu for help.

When you connect your account to the University, you make the University a Trusted Party and give the University permission to read and update your record for you.

The University Libraries will add an employment record to your ORCID that will show you are employed, your start date, your title, and your department. If you leave the university, we will also update your record to reflect your start and end dates.

This record will then appear on your ORCID as being verified by the university.

We might potentially add more features in the future to add more information, such as publications and grants, but we will let you know before we do that.

First, it means you don’t have to add it yourself. Another benefit is that any information added by the University is marked on your ORCID as coming from the University, which in turn lets other groups and people know that we have verified this information. It’s a way of telling scholarly publishers and grant funders that they can trust this information.

ORCID allows users to set privacy levels for every individual item on a record. Just change whatever you want to hide to Private. Anything set at Public can be seen by anyone, and anything set at Trusted Parties can be seen by the University and any other group you’ve connected your ORCID to.

Follow ORCID’s instructions to easily revoke Trusted Party status for any organization, including the University, from your ORCID record.

Your ORCID will stay with you no matter what, but we do encourage you to make your personal email your primary email in your ORCID to ensure you can still easily access your account. You can then add your university email as an additional address.

We will also update your ORCID to reflect your employment dates.

Because this information is created and verified by the University, only the University can edit it. However, you can choose to either delete the record or change the visibility level of the record (i.e., setting it to Public, Trusted Parties, or Private).
