SOAR User Manual

ORCID is an independent non-profit organization that provides a persistent identifier – an ORCID iD – that distinguishes you from other researchers and links all of your research outputs, affiliations, and activities. ORCID is integrated into many systems used by publishers, funders, institutions, and other research-related services. Learn more at orcid.org.

Connecting your ORCID iD to SOAR links your SOAR profile to your ORCID profile and automatically pushes information about your research outputs from SOAR to ORCID. Updates are processed every 24 hours.

To connect your ORCID iD to SOAR:

1. Login to SOAR
2. Click Edit Profile
3. Click Register or Connect your ORCID iD
4. Follow the prompts to create your ORCID iD or connect an existing iD to your SOAR profile
5. Grant SOAR permission to view and update your ORCID profile

You can revoke access at any time by logging into ORCID, going to the "Trusted Parties" section of your account settings, and clicking "Revoke Access" next to SOAR.

Connecting your ORCID iD to your Rutgers NetID links your information in the Rutgers Directory and other Rutgers systems to your ORCID profile and allows you to sign into ORCID and other systems (e.g., manuscript and grant submission systems) using your NetID.

To connect your ORCID iD to your Rutgers NetID:

1. Login to Rutgers Personal Contact Information System
2. Select the ORCID tab
3. Follow the prompts to create your ORCID iD or connect an existing iD to your Rutgers NetID
