University of Galway Research Repository is the digital collection of open access scholarly publications from the University of Galway.

ORCID
ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is a non-proprietary alphanumeric code to uniquely identify scientific and other academic authors and contributors.
It provides a unique identifier for individuals to use with their name as they engage in research, scholarship, and innovation activities. For example, the late Stephen Hawking's ORCID ID was /0000-0002-9079-593X, so as not to be confused with any other S. Hawking.
This persistent digital identifier distinguishes them from every other researcher and, through integration in key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission, supports automated linkages between them and their professional activities ensuring that their work is fully captured and recognised.
