Agriculture Graduate Student Orientation: Home

Hello and Welcome to LSU! 

This is your introduction to services and tools that will make your time as a graduate student at LSU easier. 

Take a look around and please let me know if you have any questions. 

ORCID helps with name disambiguation efforts and aims to reduce administrative burdens for researchers.

A number of journals require authors to provide ORCID IDs in order to publish in those journals. A number of funders use ORCID IDs to make funding applications and outcome reporting easier.  For example, ORCID integrates with SciENcv.

You can use ORCID to meet the requirements of the OSTP Memo (August 25, 2022 [Nelson memo]) requiring "federally funded researchers to obtain a digital persistent identifier that meets the common/core standards of a digital persistent identifier service defined in the NSPM-33 Implementation Guidance,17 include it in published research outputs when available, and provide federal agencies with the metadata associated with all published research outputs they produce, consistent with the law, privacy, and security considerations."
