Connect your ORCID to your Symplectic Elements profile between Monday 16 October and Thursday 26 October for a chance to win a £150 Heffers voucher!

As part of Open Access Week 2017, any University of Cambridge member with a Symplectic Elements profile can enter this competition.

An ORCID is a unique identifier for researchers (disambiguating Jane Smith from Jane Smith) and meaning that if researchers change their names, their work remains linked together. It is simple and quick to get an ORCID, find out more and register quickly and easily for one here.

Symplectic Elements is an internal University system that collects information about your publications (amongst other things). You can login directly to Symplectic here.

The competition website includes a quick video tutorial on how to link your ORCID with Symplectic, but you can also see step-by-step instructions on the Research Information Moodle site (click on the ‘Enrol’ button if you are not already enrolled).

The winner of the prize draw will be announced on Friday 27 October 2017. Good luck!
