ORCID: Benefits of ORCID

This guide provides and introduction to ORCID iDs and how to get started with ORCID.

Benefits of ORCID

More Time for Research

By allowing trusted organizations to add your research information to your ORCID record, you can spend more time conducting your research and less time managing it!

Name Flexibility

ORCID helps reduce the negative consequences of name changes so you will no longer be limited to the name you used when you began your career.

Uniquely Yours

Distinguish yourself and claim credit for your work while controlling access to your data, no matter how many people have your same (or similar) name.

Reduce Admin Burden

Experience greater ease as an increasing number of manuscript submission or grant application forms can be auto-populated when you log into their systems with your ORCID, like NIH Biosketch, SciENcv, and OJS.

Portable Profile Data

Easily share your data between your record and an increasing number of funding, publications, data repositories, and other research workflows.
