Consistently listing your primary affiliation in publications helps CWRU receive proper credit in global rankings.
Use One of These Official Affiliations

Please note that the inclusion of other identifiers such as department, center, and institute are allowed and encouraged (e.g., Cardiovascular Research Institute, Case Western Reserve University, School of Medicine or Department of English, Baker-Nord Center for the Humanities, Case Western Reserve University), as long as Case Western Reserve University is designated as your primary affiliation as listed above.
ORCID and Research Profiles
- Keep your ORCID profile updated with your CWRU affiliation.
- These affiliations will also be submitted to the Research Organization Registry, a trusted resource used by ORCID and publishers.
- If you encounter journal systems with incorrect drop-down options, contact Kelvin Smith Library to help correct them.
Additional Steps to Strengthen Visibility
- Deposit your publications in the CWRU Scholarly Commons to increase citations and visibility.
- Take advantage of the Open Access policy, approved by the Faculty Senate, which promotes broader access to your work.
- Work with Kelvin Smith Library for assistance with affiliation updates, ORCID profiles, or Scholarly Commons submissions.
