ORCID, or Open Researcher and Contributor ID, provides a persistent digital identifier that you own and control, and that distinguishes you from every other researcher.
You can connect your ORCID with your professional information — affiliations, grants, publications, peer review, and more. You can use your iD to share your information with other systems, ensuring you get recognition for all your contributions, saving you time and hassle, and reducing the risk of errors.
