Whenever you sign a journal article or any other publication or academic work, follow these three guidelines:

• Cite the UPC correctly:
  Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC)
   
• Use the same signature
   
• Add your ORCID identifier

Having an updated ORCID profile is a requirement in many research calls, such as PID 2025 and the sexennia. This unique identifier (16-digit code) ensures that your scientific production is attributed to you unequivocally, avoiding confusion with other authors with the same name.

In Bibliotècnica there are detailed guides to facilitate the process of updating researcher profiles:

• ORCID
• Web of Science Researcher Profile
• Scopus Author Profile
• ORCID and DataCite integration

​The official launch of SÍLICE, the first Spanish scientific literature search engine based exclusively on open sources, has been announced. This initiative by the Instituto de Estudios Sociales Avanzados (IESA - CSIC) is free and contains more than 18 million publications (2 million Spanish).

SILICE (Sistema de Información sobre LIteratura Científica Española) is based exclusively on open sources (such as Crossref, OpenCitations and OpenAlex) and allows the generation of impact and attention indicators, as well as innovative metrics aligned with current evaluation trends (CoARA, DORA). You can register on the platform with your ORCID to update your researcher profile.
