Increase your visibility and impact with an ORCID iD!

ORCID: the unique identifier for authors of scientific work

ORCID is a non-profit organization that provides an open registry of unique persistent identifiers for researchers. The ORCID abbreviation stands for Open Researcher and Contributor Identifier. Having an ORCID iD solves the problem of name ambiguity. ORCID correctly links you to your publications and distinguishes your work from that of others with similar names. Your ORCID iD is connected to you wherever you work. As more funders, journals, academic institutions and scientific databases) start to make use of ORCID iDs, having an ORCID iD will pay off. Using your ORCID iD in key research workflows, such as manuscript and grant submission, will also save you time.

Advantages of having an ORCID iD

• an ORCID iD is unique, name confusion will no longer be a problem
• an ORCID iD is persistent, you can use it throughout your academic career
• ORCID is increasingly used by individuals (e.g. as a signature in emails) and systems (e.g. in Scopus, PubMed), enabling recognition and discoverability
• ORCID gives you control over your information - you decide who gets to see what
• ORCID saves time because you can have your profile automatically updated from other profiles and systems
