What does ORCID do?

ORCID provides a unique and persistent identifier that can be used throughout one’s career, across professional activities, affiliations, and languages

ORCID iD is integrated in standard workflows and embedded in works metadata, independent of platform

How do we do it?

ORCID is an independent non-profit organization supported by member fees

We provide an open registry of persistent unique identifiers for researchers, and APIs for the community to embed identifiers in research systems and workflows

Data marked public by researchers is published annually by ORCID under a CC0 waiver

ORCID code is available on our GitHub open source repository and we support community efforts to develop tools and services
