The Libraries are pleased to announce two new Services to support researchers with managing their ORCID iD profile and online scholarly identity. Researcher profiles are increasingly used to support grant applications, promotion and tenure processes, and collaboration opportunities. Now you can get support from the Libraries with updating and managing your online presence.

ORCID iD Service
This service provides personalized assistance with creating and optimizing ORCID profiles, adding works, connecting to trusted organizations for automatic updates, consolidating duplicate accounts, and answering questions about ORCID best practices.

Scholarly Profile Audit Service
Librarians will help researchers ensure that their scholarly record is accurate, complete, and consistent across major online platforms including Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, OpenAlex, and ResearchGate. Since these platforms are used to calculate the h-Index metric to measure researcher impact, it’s important that your scholarly outputs are correctly represented.

Both services can be accessed by completing the Scholarly Profile Audit and ORCID iD Service Request Form. You will be asked to share your CV to provide Librarians with the information needed to begin the audit.

The Libraries held a two-part Research Impact series to provide detailed information regarding these new services. You can view the recordings on LSU Health Digital Scholar: Research Impact 101: Understanding and Calculating Your h Index and Research Impact 102: Building a Strong Scholarly Presence.
