ORCID

ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is a unique identifier assigned to researchers, academics, and contributors in the research and scholarly communities. It helps distinguish individuals with similar names and ensures that their work is correctly attributed, enhancing visibility and recognition. An ORCID iD is typically a 16-digit number assigned to a person, which they can link to their publications, grants, professional activities, and other scholarly contributions. The goal is to eliminate ambiguity and improve the accuracy of citation, recognition, and collaboration in the research world. Researchers can register for an ORCID iD for free on the ORCID website, and they can integrate their ORCID with various systems, publishers, and academic institutions to keep track of their work.
