ORCID is a non-profit organization that provides researchers with a unique digital identifier. These identifiers can be used by editors, funding agencies, publishers, and institutions to reliably identify individuals in the same way that ISBNs and DOIs identify books and articles.

ORCID provides a persistent digital identifier (an ORCID iD) that you own and control, and that distinguishes you from every other researcher. You can connect your iD with your professional information — affiliations, grants, publications, peer review, and more.

ORCID relies on organizational membership fees to support our work and ensure that it’s always free for researchers everywhere to obtain and use an ORCID iD.

Search by name and DOI
When checking to see if an individual has an ORCID record, we recommend searching by both their name and the DOI of one or more of their recent works. This should result in just the record of the researcher you are looking for, and not records of anyone else who shares the same name.
Who can have an ORCID iD?
Only you can claim an ORCID iD for yourself and only you can set up your record. You choose what information to connect to your iD, and whom to share it with – everyone, no one, or trusted organizations (e.g. ORCID members, who must first get your permission to access your record).
Creating an ORCID ID allows authors to obtain credit for their work, awards, and affiliations. Authors should include the ID when signing into a university current research information system (CRIS), when submitting a manuscript, or applying for a grant, to ensure transparency and recognition of prior publications.
