CRIS User Guide

ORCID, which stands for Open Researcher and Contributor ID, is a free, unique, persistent identifier (PID) for individuals to use as they engage in research and scholarship activities.
Using ORCID distinguishes you from other researchers with similar names. It also promotes automatic connections between your CRIS profile and your publications. An ORCID number is required by many journals, publishers, and funders. Each researcher should have only one ORCID number and use this number when submitting scholarly publications, reviews, and grants.
You can read more about ORCID on this website.

Your ORCID number should be linked to Tel-Aviv University information systems. For faculty members, this linkage will add a verified employment section in the ORCID account. For graduate students, this linkage will add a verified education section to the ORCID account.

 

Connecting your ORCID account to the university will also enhance the automatic retrieval of publications into the university CRIS system.

To connect your ORCID account to Tel-Aviv University:
1. Enter one of the following URLs according to your current affiliation at Tel Aviv University (accessible from the campus or via VPN):

You have the option to synchronize information in one direction from your CRIS profile to your ORCID account. Meaning that your CRIS data will be copied to ORCID, not the other way around. Any updates made directly in ORCID will not be reflected in CRIS. 

The synchronization can be performed starting ten days after you have successfully connected your ORCID account to Tel Aviv University.

The following data will be synchronized from CRIS to ORCID once a week:

• Your list of publications
• Your university appointments

Steps to Synchronize Your CRIS Profile to Your ORCID Profile:

 

1. Log in to your profile in the CRIS system - https://cris.tau.ac.il/admin/

 

2. Click on “Authenticate your ORCID ID” next to your ORCID number under your name at the upper left corner of the screen 

 

 

3. In the “Connect with your ORCID ID” screen check the two boxes:

“Pure is allowed to read public and limited visibility items on my ORCID record (Required to proceed).” and 

“I hereby allow Pure to export content on my behalf.”

* Pure is the commercial name of the Israeli CRIS system.

 

4. Click Proceed 

 

5. Sign in to your ORCID account with your ORCID credentials.

6. Click “Authorize Access” to allow the synchronization on the ORCID side.

 

 

7. The process is completed. In your CRIS profile page, next to your ORCID number, you will see a green text “Authenticated”
