What is an ORCID iD?
ORCID, which stands for Open Researcher and Contributor ID, is a free, unique, persistent identifier for individuals to use as they engage in research, scholarship, and innovation activities. It allows all your research information to be accessible via your own unique profile, to be used wherever you need it.
Anyone who participates in research, scholarship, or innovation can register for an ORCID iD for themselves free of charge, and you can use the same iD throughout your whole career‚ even if your name changes or you move to a different organization, discipline, or country.
