Scholarly communication & publishing

Publications and data generated from research funded by certain government agencies, as well as some private funders, are required to be made freely and publicly available (open access). We can help you:

• understand open access mandates that apply to you
• identify open access publishing opportunities
• identifying repositories that comply with open access mandates

We can help you maximize your visibility by setting up researcher identifiers and researcher profiles; this also helps ensure increased visibility of research and that your citation, download, and other metrics are as complete as possible.

Researcher identifiers

• • ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID)
    ORCID is a nonprofit organization whose unique researcher identifiers are interoperable with many different database systems
  • ResearcherID
    InCites uses ResearcherID to compile a complete list of your publications. When setting up your account, use your NAU email address. Once you have created a ResearchID account, you can automatically export your account information and publication list to create an ORCID account.
