Reporting your publications: ORCID and Researcher's Profile Tool

ORCID and Researcher's Profile Tool

What is the Researcher's Profile Tool?

With the Researcher's Profile Tool, you can create a public profile in the Research.fi service.

  • The Researcher's Profile Tool promotes the discovery of experts in different fields.
  • The module includes information on researchers, RDI experts and other research-related experts operating in Finland in order to make it easier to find experts in different fields and to allow an increasing number of people to participate in discussions concerning their field in the media and in the society’s decision-making.

In the national profile, experts can highlight their entire career and competence regardless of organisational boundaries.

  • The tool provides basic functionalities, such as creating a profile, publishing it to the Research.fi portal, hiding and deleting.
  • In the future, the mobility of experts from one organisation to another will be made easier when information about competence and merits can be transferred between systems without the need to re-enter the information.

Identification to the tool is done with an ORCID ID and the Suomi.fi authorization.

  • The tool is available in Finnish, Swedish and English.

If the tool does not find information from the expert's current home organisation, the organisation has not yet made the necessary data transfers and the information will become available to the tool later.

Information on the ORCID profile and the Research.fi are always available to the expert. The information is always kept in the tool, and the expert can choose what they want to publish about themselves and their work.

Instructions for using the Researcher's Profile Tool; Instructions for using the tool and its features can also be found in video format: https://video.csc.fi/playlist/dedicated/0_uaiybnqv/

What is ORCID?

The international ORCID ID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) provides a persistent identifier distinguishing you from every other researcher. It is a serial number that allows researchers to distinguish themselves from other researchers with the same name, among other things. The identifier remains the same even if the researcher's name or organisation changes.

The ORCID iD is widely used by scientific publishers and funders, among others, and researchers can attach it to their publications and other outputs. Researchers can also maintain their own profiles in the ORCID service. Create your ORCID account at https://orcid.org/
