Researcher Profile Sync
Keep ORCID and researcher profiles current without repeated re-entry
Name ambiguity, no single place to track outputs, and the same information entered across multiple systems. This recipe builds a practical profile maintenance workflow centered on ORCID with a sync cadence so profiles don't drift.
INGREDIENTS
PROMPT
Create a skill called "Researcher Profile Sync". Ask for: - Do I have an ORCID already? (yes/no/unspecified) - What profiles matter for me (institutional, Google Scholar, etc.; if unknown: unspecified) - My name variants (middle initial, diacritics, name change; optional) Output: 1) ORCID setup or audit checklist. 2) A profile sync plan (what to update, how often). 3) A "submission bundle" list: IDs and links to include in CV/grants. Rules: - If institutional specifics aren't provided, mark them as unspecified and keep the plan generic.
How It Works
The Claw produces a setup-or-audit checklist for ORCID and related profiles,
a sync plan for keeping them current, and a "submission bundle" of IDs and
links you can paste into CVs and grant applications.
What You Get
- ORCID setup checklist (or audit checklist if you already have one)
- Output tracking plan:
- What to add (publications, datasets, grants)
- How often to update
- A "submission bundle" list: IDs + links to include in CVs and grants
- Name variant handling (middle initials, diacritics, name changes)
Setup Steps
- Confirm whether you already have an ORCID iD
- Identify other profiles you must maintain (institutional, Google Scholar, etc.)
- The Claw produces a sync plan and a quarterly reminder schedule
Tips
- Especially important after a name change, new position, or grant application
- The quarterly sync takes 15 minutes and prevents profile drift
- Useful for librarians advising researchers on visibility
