About ORCID^®

The Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID, Inc.) is a non-profit organization that aims to solve the author/contributor name ambiguity problem in scholarly communication by creating a central registry of unique identifiers. These identifiers can be used within various systems you may interact with in your professional research workflow, including manuscript submission.

ORCID provides a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other researcher and, through integration in key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission, supports automated linkages between you and your professional activities ensuring that your work is recognized.

For more information, go to the ORCID home page.

Importance of Accuracy

Because articles are self-claiming, the name of the person appearing in the Author Identifiers table may not have authored the article you see in the full record. 

For example, a student researcher may create an account on ORCID and include articles on their publication list their professor wrote. So, If you click View Profile on orcid.org, you will see articles on the student researcher's list they didn't write.
