Submitting and publishing
ORCID stands for Open Researcher and Contributer iD: A persistent digital identifier for anyone working in academia.
ORCID is a unique personal number that allows researchers to easily and automatically connect their research information across a wide range of online databases. ORCID connects you to your research activities throughout your career. It is free, open, mobile, and community-driven. Signing up for an ORCID takes just a few minutes and ensures that your professional profile and your research activities across multiple online repositories are unambiguous, persistent, portable, up-to-date, and discoverable.
ORCID is not yet another research profile system or bibliographical database (such as Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, Academia.edu, ResearchGate, etc.). Instead, having and using an ORCID it allows you to automatically synchronize the research profiles that you already have, allowing you to spend your time doing research, instead of administrating it.
- Eliminate any ambiguity regarding your name and its variations across academic bibliographies and repositories.
- Saves time:an ORCID synchronizes your profiles across the web and simplifies publishing and funding applications.
