Archiving Your Scholarly Publications

Creating your ORCID Identifier

ORC ID logo

ORCiD provides a persistent digital identifier (an ORCID iD) that you own and control, and that distinguishes you from every other researcher. You can connect your iD 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. You can use the same iD throughout your whole career - even if you name changes or you move to a different organization, discipline, or country.
