Why use ORCID?
ORCIDs help identify a researcher when they:
- Have common names and are hard to tell from others with the same name
- Change names over different life circumstances
- Have names with structures or symbols that online search has difficulty with
- Change roles or institutions
After you create your ORCID iD:
- Connect your iD with your professional information: education, affiliations, grants, publications, peer review, and more.
- On your ORCID profile, add links to all of your other websites, researcher profiles, and social media accounts.
- Use your iD when submitting journal manuscripts or applying for grants when prompted.
- Add your ORCID iD to your CV, your email signature, and to any other websites or platforms you use.
