ORCID ID 鈥� Persistent Digital Identifiers for Researchers
ORCID is an international, interdisciplinary, open, non-proprietary, and not-for-profit organization created by the research community for the benefit of all stakeholders, providing a persistent digital identifier (an ORCID iD) that distinguishes researchers with record that supports automatic links among all professional activities. A researcher鈥檚 ORCID iD and connections are stored in the ORCID Registry, in an account owned and managed by individual researchers. The 萝莉社 Office of Research recommends that Principal Investigators set up their ORCID if they have not already, as some federal funders may require the use of an ORCID as part of a researcher鈥檚 biographical sketch or CV.
