About ORCID
ORCIDs are unique personal identifiers that connect you to all of your work and professional activities, including grant applications and conference presentations.
Built on the principle of “enter once, reuse often”, ORCID provides you with an open and interoperable toolset to collect, vet, and share information that can be trusted as an accurate source of information about you and your research.
We are currently among 1,039 ORCID member organizations, which include universities, publishers, funders, scholarly societies, and other stakeholders across the research landscape.
