ORCID is a non-profit organization that aims to give researchers unique identifiers that connect their contributions across disciplines and borders. Their vision is for all researchers to be uniquely identified. ORCID provides researchers with a free, easy-to-use identifier that they can use to enter information once and have it reused across different systems and organizations. Having an ORCID identifier enables greater discoverability and recognition of a researcher's work. An increasing number of funders and publishers are requiring ORCID identifiers.
