The MU instruction on ORCID is effective from 1st October 2025. This involves giving consent to profile management and setting up the transfer of publications. For more information see ORCID.
For any researcher, it is essential to be connected to their publications and research and to be distinguished from other researchers. It is not easy and precise to identify researchers by only their names. There are problems with common names, different formats of names, name changes through marriage, etc.
The best way to tackle the problem of name ambiguity is to use persistent unique researcher identifiers.
Insert the codes of your ORCID, ResearcherID, Scopus Author ID in IS MU (section Publications – then in the right menu choose Personal identification codes).
ORCID - the central registry is managed by the non-profit organisation ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID. It is supported by organisations worldwide and is used by global publishers and grant agencies. ORCID enables to share data from your ResearcherID and Scopus ID. This identifier serves as the main one at FSS.
As of 1 October 2025, the MU guideline that imposes obligations on publishing staff and doctoral students related to the establishment and use of the ORCID identifier is effective.
In the Personal Identifiers section of the MU IS, consent is now required to manage an ORCID profile (this applies to newly created profiles as well as to those who have previously created profiles).
It is necessary for all academic staff and publishing PhD students to give their consent to profile management by the end of the year 2025.
Consent must be given by each individual as it is linked to logging into the MU IS.
Part of giving consent is also setting up the transfer of publications from IS to ORCID. It is strongly recommended to enable automatic transfer of publications and to select among the publication types all publications that go to RIV (J - Article in a journal, B - Book on a specialized topic, C - Chapter(s) of a specialized book, D - Proceedings Paper). The transfer of other publication types is at your discretion.
Any questions, requests for assistance, and problems arising in granting permission, transferring publication types, etc. can be addressed to Dana Vlachova. She continues to be in charge of researcher identifiers at FSS and is the main ORCID contact person for FSS.
ResearcherID (RID) – enables to track the publications in the Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics) database. In your Researcher ID profile, you can link your Web of Science publications to your profile and view information based on the citation count (h-index, citation count, rate of cooperation with other authors or institutions etc.).
Scopus Author ID – is an identifier that is used in the database Scopus. It is assigned automatically to every author who publishes at least one article in the index of Scopus. Authors can not create this ID on their own.
