ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID)

ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is a unique digital identifier assigned to researchers and scholars. It helps reliably link a person’s work—such as articles, datasets, and grants—to their identity, regardless of name changes, variations, or institutional affiliations. By providing a persistent ID, ORCID simplifies tracking and sharing research contributions across publishers, funders, and institutions, ensuring proper attribution. This system enhances the accuracy and efficiency of scholarly communication, making it easier for researchers to manage and showcase their work, and for others to find and verify their research activities.
