  4. Log-in with your AUBNet account credentials

Not affiliated with AUB anymore?

Your ORCID ID is tied to you and not to the institution you are affiliated with.

You don't need to create a new ORCID ID, you only need to link again your new institution with your personal account.

Use your ORCID ID

Display your ORCID ID in your CVs, emails, webpages, business cards & public profiles.

Include your ORCID ID when applying for grants and when submitting your publications.

Enable auto-updated from other systems like Research ID, Scopus ID and Crossref in order to keep your record updated.

N.B:

Include in your account all your name variations, emails, education, affiliations, funders & publications. 

Remove all typos & spelling mistakes.
