ORCID

ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is a unique identifier assigned to researchers, scholars, and contributors within scientific and research communities. It helps distinguish individuals with similar names and ensures that their work is correctly attributed, thereby increasing visibility and recognition. An ORCID iD is typically a 16-digit number assigned to an individual, which they can link to their publications, grants, professional activities, and other scholarly contributions. The goal is to eliminate ambiguity and improve the accuracy of citation, recognition, and collaboration in the research world. Researchers can register for an ORCID iD free of charge on the ORCID website and integrate their ORCID with various systems, publishers, and academic institutions to track their work.
