What is ORCID?

An ORCID iD is a unique and persistent identifier for researchers -- an ID number that can help make your scholarship easier to find and attribute so that you get credit for all that you do.

Having an ORCID iD will help:

• Make your work discoverable by others
• Connect your research to you throughout your career, no matter how your name appears in publication
• Distinguish you from other researchers with similar names
• Minimize the time you spend entering data when submitting research for publication or applying for grants
