Introduction to ORCID
About ORCID
ORCID stands for Open Researcher and Contributor Identifier. ORCID provides a unique identifier that distinguishes you from other researchers and supports automatic links among all your professional activities. Despite changes in name, affiliation, or language, your ORCID iD will ensure that research institutions, funders, and publishers can easily identify and attribute your work to you.
An ORCID iD is often required to apply for grants, publish your research, or present at conferences.
You can learn more about ORCID by visiting https://orcid.org.
