- Example: Education, Work experience, Presentations, Publications, Grants
- Once you register your ORCID, include it when submitting publications, proposals, grants, etc.
- A growing number of submission systems will automatically add the citation to your ORCID upon acceptance and publication
Minimum information to include:
