Having an ORCID record enhances the discoverability and visibility of you as a researcher and your research throughout your academic career regardless of your affiliation. It is a free, easy-to-use, online profile that you own and control, where you can gather all your professional affiliations, research outputs, and activities in one place. An ORCID record makes it easy to publish and gain recognition for your work as a researcher or peer reviewer. An ORCID iD can also make it much easier to submit manuscripts and to apply for funding, now and in the future.
ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is a central registry of persistent unique identifiers for researchers. ORCID iD is a 16-digit number that prevents name ambiguity and reliably connects publications, datasets, affiliations, and funding under a researcher’s record.
ORCID is a not-for-profit, open, and community-driven organization, created for and by the research community. ORCID was established to solve shared issues. ORCID’s vision (linken) is “a world where all who participate in research, scholarship, and innovation are uniquely identified and connected to their contributions across disciplines, borders, and time”.
ORCID functions as a hub
ORCID members are publishers, funders, research institutions and database providers. ORCID has been integrated in their workflows and this makes it possible to connect you to your publications, affiliations, grants etc.
The Library supports researchers in creating and using their ORCID iD and ORCID record.
ORCID strives to enable transparent and trustworthy connections between researchers, their contributions, and their affiliations.
