About ORCiD

ORCiD® (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) iDs are persistent identifiers for researchers. This author identification tool is an effort that is being supported by libraries, publishers, and funders to help connect researchers to their works. Some publishers and funders already require ORCiD iDs, and many others will soon join them.

Why ORCiD?

An ORCiD iD allows you to

  • Distinguish yourself from other authors with similar names
  • Consolidate all your works in one place
  • Provide a comprehensive work history to publishers and funders
