- ORCID provides a persistent digital identifier that uniquely identifies individual researchers and links them to their professional activities and affiliations.
- Over 2.6 million researchers have registered for an ORCID identifier, which are associated with over 6 million publications and 50 thousand organization IDs.
- ORCID aims to simplify the lives of researchers by allowing them to enter information once and have it reused across different systems, and enables connections between researchers' work and contributions.
