Data Management and Sharing

Think of ORCiD - Open Researcher and Contributor ID - as a unique identifier for you! It is a free, unique, persistent identifier that helps to distinguish you from other researchers across the world, across disciplines, borders, and time. You can connect your iD with your professional information—affiliations, grants, publications, peer review, and more. You can use your iD to share your information with other systems, ensuring you get recognition for all your contributions, saving you time and hassle, and reducing the risk of errors.

Registering for your ORCID means that you have a free, unique, persistent identifier that disambiguates you and your work.

Using your iD makes life easier for you and the institutions and organizations you connect with throughout your research career.

• You will be distinguished from every other researcher, even researchers who share your same name,
• Your research outputs and activities will be correctly attributed to you,
• Your contributions and affiliations will be reliably and easily connected to you,
• You will save time when filling out forms, (leaving more time for research!),
• You will enjoy improved discoverability and recognition,
• You will be able to connect your record to a growing number of institutions, funders, and publishers,

Your ORCID record is yours, for free, forever.

Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae (SciENcv) is an electronic system that helps researchers assemble the professional information needed for participation in federally funded research. SciENcv gathers and compiles information on expertise, employment, education and professional accomplishments. Researchers can use SciENcv to create and maintain biosketches that are submitted with grant applications and annual reports. SciENcv allows researchers to describe and highlight their scientific contributions in their own words. Sign up for your profile at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sciencv/

What SciENcv does:

• Eliminates the need to repeatedly enter biosketch information
• Reduces the administrative burden associated with federal grant submission and reporting requirements
• Provides access to a researcher-claimed data repository with information on expertise, employment, education, and professional accomplishments
• Allow researchers to describe their scientific contributions in their own language

Who Developed SciENcv

The SciENcv utility is a cooperative project requested by the Federal Demonstration Partnership (FDP), which is an association of academic research institutions and federal agencies. In collaboration with the FDP, SciENcv is being built by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) at the National Institutes of Health under the aegis of an interagency workgroup composed of members from the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation (NSF), The Smithsonian, and the United States Department of Agriculture. The interagency workgroup operates under the National Science and Technology Council's (NSTC) Research Business Models and Science of Science Policy Committees.

Principles of SciENcv

• Any researcher may register
• Leverages data from existing systems
• Data are owned by the researcher
• Researcher controls what data are public
• Researcher edits and maintains information
• Researcher provides own data to describe research outcomes
• Researcher has ultimate control over data in biosketch
