Why should I get an ORCiD?

  • It is required by over 100 journals. You can find a list of journals that require authors have an ORCiD here. Some of these journals include:
    • SAGE Publications
    • PLOS
    • Frontiers
    • Wiley
    • Springer Nature
    • BMJ Journals
  • An ORCID iD reliably connects you with your works, awards, and affiliations
  • ORCID alleviates mistaken identity. 
  • You own and control your record, managing what information is connected and how it is shared.
  • ORCID improves recognition for you and your research. 
  • ORCID increases discoverability of your research outputs
