Researcher profiles and ORCID

Link your ORCiD to RMIT

In preparation for the implementation of RMIT’s new research management system, RMIT Elements, take a few moments to create or update your ORCiD and ensure it is associated with RMIT. RMIT Elements will provide researchers with the ability to auto-harvest scholarly works from multiple data sources using key unique identifiers (such as ORCiD), making it easier to showcase outputs and publications on their public profiles Instructions are in the guide linked below or contact the Library.
