ORCID

ORCID is short for Open Researcher and Contributor ID. It is an international standard to help researchers to establish and maintain their scholarly identity. It aims to solve common issues such as

  • not getting credit for your research because your name is common or because you have published using a different version of your name
  • struggling to find a central place to keep track of all your research outputs 
  • having to spend time entering the same information over and over in publisher and grant submission systems
