Name flexibility: ORCID can track and centralize name changes.

 

Uniquely yours: Differentiate your research from others with similar names.

 

Easily find your work: You can search databases by your ORCID.

 

Easily share your work: Add your ORCID to your email signature to easily share your research profile.
