Engineering Research 201: Scholarly Publishing
ORCID
ORCID stands for Open Researcher and Contributor ID. The ORCID initiative focuses on solving the name ambiguity problem by creating persistent unique identifiers and linking mechanisms between different ID schemes and research objects. An ORCID iD is a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from other researchers.
How can you get an ORCID identifier?
You can also easily create an ORCID iD with your UI credentials using the UI ORCID Planter tool.
What if you already have an ORCID identifier?
If you have already created an ORCID iD, log-in to the UI ORCID Planter tool, follow the prompts to the page that instructs you to to log-in and grant the university permission to read your ORCID record. If you are not registered, you will be presented with a pre-filled registration page.

Disciplinary Repositories
Disciplinary repositories are publicly available online archives that host and distribute preprints, accepted manuscripts, working papers, etc.
-
arXiv.org This link opens in a new windowarXiv is a pre-print and open-access archive for scholarly articles in the fields of physics, mathematics, computer science, quantitative biology, quantitative finance, statistics, electrical engineering and systems science, and economics. Materials on this site are not peer-reviewed by arXiv.
-
bioRxiv This link opens in a new windowbioRxiv (pronounced “bio-archive”) is a preprint server for the life sciences operated by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Articles are not peer-reviewed or edited, although all articles undergo basic screening for non-scientific content and plagiarism, and for material that might pose a health or biosecurity risk.
-
medRxiv This link opens in a new windowmedRxiv (pronounced "med-archive") is a free online archive and distribution server for complete but unpublished manuscripts (preprints) in the medical, clinical, and related health sciences. Preprints are preliminary reports of work that have not been peer-reviewed.
-
PsyArXivA free preprint service for the psychological sciences. Maintained by The Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science. Powered by OSF Preprints
-
SocArXivSocArXiv, open archive of the social sciences, provides a free, non-profit, open access platform for social scientists to upload working papers, preprints, and published papers, with the option to link data and code. SocArXiv is dedicated to opening up social science, to reach more people more effectively, to improve research, and build the future of scholarly communication.
Researcher Profile
University of Iowa researchers can Sign in to Iowa Research Online (IRO) to access their profile. These profiles are private by default and researchers can make their profiles public by clicking the Make your profile public? link.
Once you've made your profile public, you can find your profile URL by going to Edit Profile or Settings and then the My public profile link section:
To edit your research profile, please check out the instruction.
To learn more about the researcher profile system, check out Q & A document.
In addition, you can reuse Researcher Profile's bibliographies for your ORCiD profile. Please watch the how-to video tutorial.
Check out the following videos to see how to upload your publications in the IRO into SciENcv and/or my NCBI
