Obtaining an ORCID iD will allow you to standardise your author name and bring all your research together. These iDs are now mandatory for many funders and the UWL Publications Policy requires researchers to sign up for an iD. The simplest way to sign-up is to click on the Manage ORCID Permission tab once logged into UWL Repository. From here you can click on the "Create or Connect your ORCID iD" button.
If you already have an iD, please also click on the Manage ORCID Permission tab once logged into UWL Repository and then the "Create or Connect your ORCID iD" button. Once you have granted permissions for reading and writing between ORCID and the UWL Repository, you will have two new buttons in your Manage deposits area, "Import from orcid.org" and "Export to orcid.org". These allow you to push and pull descriptive records between UWL Repository and ORCID.
UWL Repository supports OAI 2.0 with a base URL of https://repository.uwl.ac.uk/cgi/oai2
