Linking your ORCID to Faculty Success

Overview

Configure the automatic export of publication data from Faculty Success to ORCID to ensure scholarly works remain consistent across both platforms. This process allows you to share records managed in Faculty Success with your authenticated ORCID account.

Note: The functionality described in this article is for exporting data from Faculty Success to ORCID. For instructions on pulling data from an ORCID record into your Faculty Success profile, please refer to the article, Publication Import Overview

Prerequisites

Your institution must allow sign-in using ORCID credentials. You must have an ORCID account authenticated with Faculty Success and publication records eligible for export include a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) and assigned roles (i.e., author, editor, etc.) for all authors.

Getting Started

The option to share data is off by default and must be enabled.

  1. Navigate to Settings.
  2. Authenticate using your ORCID credentials. Clicking Create OR Connect Your ORCID ID will open a new browser window. If you have authorized through the Publication Import utility, this will already be connected.

    The ORCID Settings page showing a Create or Connect Your ORCID iD button highlighted in the Authorized ORCID, and with a side panel of an ORCID sign‑in panel requesting email or ORCID iD and password.
  3. Within ORCID Settings, click the toggle under Options to enable or disable the export of your publications to ORCID.

    The Select Options section showing an ON and OFF toggle for exporting publications to ORCID.

How it Works

When sharing is enabled for ORCID, publications are immediately exported. After this initial export, any new or updated publication records in Faculty Success will sync with ORCID weekly, on Sunday.

Export Prerequisites

For publications to sync successfully from Faculty Success to ORCID, the following conditions must be met:

  • An ORCID account must be created and authenticated with Faculty Success.
  • The Digital Object Identifier (DOI) must be included in the publication record within Faculty Success.
  • All authors listed within a publication record must have an assigned role (i.e., Author, Editor).

Authorizing Exporting to ORCID on behalf of a Faculty Member

Users with the Manage Data role can enable this export for faculty members who have already authenticated their ORCID iD with Faculty Success.
