Pros of using ORCID
- It ensures your research outputs are associated with you and helps you distinguish yourself from others with similar names.
- It links your iD with your affiliations, works, grants and awards.
- You own and control your ORCID record, managing what information is connected and how it is shared.
- It enhances the discoverability of your work. Use ORCID as a hub between funding agencies, publishers, repositories, and article databases.
- It saves you time (“enter once, reuse often”).
- It makes it easier to comply with publishers’ and funders’ policy that makes ORCID mandatory.
- An ORCID iD is free to register and use.
- It gives you a permanent and unique identifier for your whole career. ORCID iD becomes a metadata in your research activities, which ensures that you receive credit for all of your work regardless of your affiliations.
- It facilitates networking, allowing you to connect with other researchers around the world for possible research collaborations and associations.
