ORCID is an open researcher identifier that allows researchers to uniquely identify themselves and link to their publications, grants, and other professional activities and accomplishments. The benefits of ORCID include self-identification and disambiguation to address issues of name ambiguity, as well as connecting and integrating researcher profiles across different university and publishing systems through a centralized ORCID hub registry. The document discusses how ORCID addresses challenges for researchers from Asia with common names and provides examples of integrating ORCID with the University of Oxford's ORDO and ORO systems.
