ResearchNow and ORCID
ResearchNow creates a shared digital space for managing and reporting on Flinders research outputs, including publications, collaborations, and researcher profiles.
ResearchNow makes it possible for a researcher to manage all aspects of their own research profile, from anywhere in the world.
Find out more about ResearchNow and how to login.
An ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from all other researchers. This ID ensures all of your research outputs are permanently attributed to you. It also assists others to find your research output.
Create, add and link your ORCID to ResearchNow.
