An ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor Identifier) is an identifier that distinguishes you from other researchers. An ORCID ID allows you to build a digital profile of your research activities.
You can add your publications, grants, professional organizations, work, and education to your ORCID profile. Since many publishers, institutions, and funders use ORCID, you can enable your profile to be automatically updated by these verified organizations.
This guide will help you learn more about the utility of ORCIDs and how to set up your ORCID profile.
