[Irtalk] Researcher Profiles using ORCID

[Ina Smith]

Dear Colleagues

I know more and more institutions (also in SA) are following the ORCID<http://orcid.org/> route. Thought I'll share the following email signature with you as an example, where the person included her ORCID as part of her email signature. Maybe also for SA researchers. A full online profile for researchers, without the need to start an online profile from scratch when moving to a new institution/university. A persistent URL for your personal profile page, independent of the institution you are representing.

Example:

-------------------------------------------------------------

Jennifer Lin

Senior Product Manager, PLOS

ORCID 0000-0002-9680-2328

1160 Battery St, Suite 100

San Francisco, CA 94111

415-935-2095


One can even hyperlink the ORCID e.g.:
