Your research is important and we want to help you ensure it is making an impact. ORCID is a great way to start increasing your research impact with minimal effort.
What is ORCID?
An ORCID is a permanent unique identifier for researchers. Using your ORCID is more accurate and secure than a name: many people can have the same name but each ORCID is unique. They protect your unique scholarly identity and help you keep your publication record up-to-date with very little effort.
Why should you get an ORCID?
ORCID’s are permanent and will follow you throughout your entire career.
ORCID is increasingly used by individuals (e.g. as a signature in emails) and systems (e.g. in Scopus, PubMed), enabling recognition and discoverability.
ORCID automatically updates your profile from other systems – saving you time.
ORCID is unique to you.
