Research Identity - ORCID iD

ORCID is a free and unique persistent identifier. Your ORCID iD distinguishes you from other researchers, linking to a profile you control and populate with information defining who you are, as well as your research, publications, affiliations, awards, and grants.

Increasingly used by funding agencies, publishers, and peer institutions, ORCID iDs make it easier to share data and information between various institutional, library, publisher, and funder systems.
