ORCID: Getting Started

ORCID provides an independent identifier that links you to your professional work!

Publishers, funders and other organizations are increasingly adopting or supporting ORCID as a key tool to organize research and information.

• ORCID (Open Research and Contributor ID) provides a persistent digital identifier (an ORCID iD) that distinguishes each researcher from all other researchers, especially individuals with similar names.

• ORCID iDs are used in research workflows, like manuscript and grant submissions, to create links between people and their professional activities in an open and publicly visible way.

  • Requiring ORCID in Publication Workflows: An Open Letter

  • ORCID for Funding Organizations
