ORCID’s vision is a world where all who
participate in research, scholarship, and
innovation are uniquely identified and connected
to their contributions and affiliations across
disciplines, borders, and time.

iD, that reliably and clearly connects you with your
research contributions and affiliations

and other research information management systems,
and more!
