What is ORCiD?
- ORCiD = Open Researcher & Contributor Identifier
- Your ORCiD record includes your works that you have "claimed" and creates a profile of your scholarly profile that you control
- ORCiD identifiers are free, unique, and persistent identifiers for individuals
- DOI for researchers
- ORCiD reaches across disciplines, national boundaries, and cooperates with other identifier systems (e.g. ResearcherID)
- Non-profit, scholar-driven organization
Why use ORCiD?
- Disambiguates individuals. This is especially helpful for people with common names or those who have changed their name.
- Gives you control of your scholarly profile regardless of name changes, variations of your name in publications, or institution changes
- Improves the visibility of your work through a scholarly profile controlled by you
- Required by a growing number of publishers (e.g. Wiley, PLOS, Cambridge University Press, and many others)
- Required or encouraged by a growing number of funding agencies
- Saves you time by allowing information to be entered in one place
