Let’s Create ORCiDs!
“ORCID provides a persistent digital identifier that
distinguishes you from every other researcher and,
through integration in key research workflows such as
manuscript and grant submission, supports automated
linkages between you and your professional activities
ensuring that your work is recognized.”
