There are more academic articles being published than ever before and more authors working together. To be able to identify an author correctly a unique identifier is needed that can then link to each author’s publications. ORCID provides this link.

ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is a system that provides a unique digital identifier to distinguish you from other researchers and a record that supports automatic links among all your professional activities. By getting an ORCID, you can mainly ensure that your publications and other research activities are correctly linked to you, improve the discoverability of your research and save time you spent on multiple data entry by pulling information from other sources.
