Create an ORCID iD to obtain a unique and open digital identifier that can distinguish you from other researchers and help increase your visibility.
What is an ORCID iD?
An ORCID iD is a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from other researchers and a record that supports automatic links among all your professional activities. Your ORCID iD and connections are stored in the ORCID Registry, in an account you own and manage.
Why register for an ORCID iD?
An ORCID iD:
- ensures your research outputs and activities are correctly attributed to you
- connects you with your contributions and affiliations
- improves discoverability for you and your research outputs
- reduces form-filling
- is interoperable (works with many funders and publishers)
Can I manage my ORCID record?
You control your ORCID record, including what information is connected to your iD; what is publicly available, private, or shared with trusted third parties; and which third parties you share information with.
