Linking your ORCID record to HKU Scholars Hub

HKU Scholars Hub

The ORCID / HKU ResearcherPage Synchronization facilitates HKU researchers to manage their ORCID records in an easier way. By using the ORCID API, researchers with ResearcherPages in the HKU Scholars Hub can claim ORCID iD and populate their ORCID records with data from the ResearcherPage. Please refer to the step-by-step guide on how to connect your ORCID records to your Scholars Hub ResearcherPage.

Linking your ORCID record to HKU DataHub

DataHub

Apart from the Scholars Hub, synchronization between ORCID iD account and HKU researchers’ profile on DataHub is also available. DataHub is the institutional data repository of the University of Hong Kong and it is a platform for researchers to cite, store, preserve, and share research data.

To link your ORCID iD to your DataHub profile, please refer to the below steps:

1. Go to DataHub (https://datahub.hku.hk/).

2. Click on “Log in” at the top right of the screen and login with your HKU portal credentials.

3. There are two ways to connect your ORCID iD:

Through your DataHub profile page

The first is to click on the dark blue circle showing your initial at the top right corner and select “profile” on the drop-down menu.

On your profile page, click on “CONNECT” next to the ORCID icon right under “Professional details”.

Through the "Applications" page

You can also access the "Applications" page from the drop-down menu, and click on the "connect" button for ORCID under the integrations section.

4. After clicking on "connect", you will be directed to the ORCID login page. Please log in with your ORCID iD account.

5. Double check if the ORCID iD and profile is correct. If so, click on “Authorize access”.

6. After successful authorization, you will be diverted to the configuration page where you can enable or disable data synchronization between your ORCID account and DataHub account.
