What is ORCID?
ORCID is a nonprofit organization helping create a world in which all who participate in research, scholarship and innovation are uniquely identified and connected to their contributions and affiliations, across disciplines, borders, and time.
The Goal of ORCID
You need an Orchid ID. More and more workflow is now inviting you to speed things up using your Orchid ID...
How to Register ORCID?
- First go to google and search for orcid.org
- Or register in the website go to https://orcid.org/register
- Fill in the required fields
- Choose the privacy setting you want to have (you can change them later too)
- Accept Terms of Use (you might want to read them)
DONE
You will be provided with a 16-digit number, expressed as a URI, - this is your ORCID ID.
Manage ORCID
Under Account Settings you can change your email address, password, and personal information.
Researcher privacy is a fundamental principle of ORCID; ORCID provides you with three settings: Public, Limited or Private
Everyone
Information marked as "everyone" can be viewed by anyone who comes to the ORCID.org website or consumed by anyone using the ORCID public API. Data marked as public will also be included in the public data file posted annually by ORCID.
Trusted Parties
Information marked as "Trusted" can be seen by any Trusted Parties that you have authorised to connect to your ORCID Record. These connections require explicit action on your part. You can also give permission to Trusted Parties to update your ORCID record. You can revoke this permission at any time.
Only Me
Information marked as "Only Me" can only be seen by you. It is also used by ORCID algorithms to help distinguish your identity from another person who may have a similar name, be it in a similar field, or may be confused with you for other reasons.
