Unlike international databases, the <a href=\"https:\/\/ucris.univie.ac.at\/portal\/en\/\">u:cris<\/a> of the University of Vienna can display your entire research output without restrictions of any kind and independently of its academic discipline, format or language.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>For me the greatest beauty always lies in the greatest clarity.<\/strong><br \/>\nGotthold Ephraim Lessing<\/h4>\n<p>In our everyday lives standardised numbers are commonplace, ranging from postal codes and social security numbers to the IBAN. Usually, numbers are introduced if it is no longer possible to unambiguously assign persons or objects without them. ISBN and ISSN (International Standard Serial Number) have been clearly identifying books and journals for decades. A relatively new phenomenon is the <a href=\"https:\/\/doi-service.univie.ac.at\/\">DOI<\/a> (Digital Object Identifier) for all digitally published contributions.<\/p>\n<p>Numbers also help to distinguish one person from another if they have the same name. An <a href=\"https:\/\/orcid.org\/\">ORCID iD<\/a> (Open Researcher and Contributor iD) allows to correctly allocate your research output to your person. This number saves time and reduces the administrative effort for every person involved in the academic communication process. It is really easy to <a href=\"https:\/\/bibliothek.univie.ac.at\/bibliometrie\/en\/orcid.html\">get an ORCID iD<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Recommendations are not obligations. However, if you take the time to reflect on and follow these recommendations, you can increase your academic publications\u2019 visibility to others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The updated recommendations from the University of Vienna are aimed at increasing the visibility of academic publications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":12494,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[589],"tags":[878,874,879],"class_list":["post-12537","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-research","tag-bibliometrics","tag-language-en","tag-quality-assurance"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
