Creating an ORCID ID

About ORCID IDs

The essential aim of ORCID is to help researchers establish themselves via a digital presence by a unique 16 digit identifier. This is to eliminate confusion that stems from researchers with the same or similar names. ORCID IDs are free and you can register to get one.
