ORCID (Open Researcher & Contributor ID)
ORCID is a global registry of unique author identifiers based on a non-commercial platform.
ORCID is supported by many publishers (such as Elsevier, Springer etc), grant agencies and
worldwide databases of scientific outputs (WoS, Scopus, etc). ORCID can be used not only in the
process of publishing but also in submitting a grant application, you can easily avoid any problem with
the incorrect transcription of the name or the wrong assignment of outputs to individual authors.
Within the ORCID profile is possible to unify different identifiers and affiliation that researcher uses to
ensure clear arrangements of all outputs. ORCID can be linked to other identifiers, such as Researcher
ID or Scopus Author Identifier to provide information about publications without the necessity to fill
each profile individually.
The ORCID profile may also include additional information about education, research profile, grants
awards, etc. The different level of privacy can be set up for each area (Works, Affiliation, Fundings,
etc).
