The document discusses ORCID iDs, which are unique 16-digit identifiers for researchers that connect them to their work and affiliations. It notes that ORCID iDs can help distinguish researchers from each other and link their professional activities across time and disciplines. The document then provides instructions for signing up for an ORCID iD, connecting it to the University of Leeds, importing works into an ORCID profile from databases, setting visibility settings, and identifying trusted organizations with access to ORCID records.
