ORCID iDs: Optimizing Research Discoverability

http://orcid.org/

ORCID (“orkid”)= Open Researcher and Contributor ID

NOT:“ORCID is like a DOI for researchers.”

http://orcid.org/0000-0002-0124-5582

The problemThe research community has lacked the ability to link researchers with their professional activities.

As a researcher, you want to

eliminate name ambiguity, distinguishing you from other researchers and ensuring proper attribution.

ensure your work is discoverable and connected to you throughout your career;

minimize the time you spend entering repetitive data online; and

How can ORCID help?ORCID provides you a unique and persistent personal identifier that connects you and your research activities throughout your career.

Registry use is internationalMore than 600,000 iDs issued to

• Associations are integrating into membership renewal, publishing and meeting registration processes

Publishing &

repositories

• Publishers are integrating into manuscript submission and author/reviewer databases

• Repositories linking with deposition, search and updating

• Both are linking internal ID with ORCID record
