ORCID is a unique, numeric identifier adopted globally by researchers to connect their research to their professional identities across the length of their careers. ORCID IDs are free and persistent. An ORCID ID ensures that an author’s digital curriculum vitae is correctly affiliated across name changes and naming ambiguity and that scholarship is properly credited.
