• Your own perspective, knowledge and experience is what makes your work unique
• Your name (not necessarily your affiliation) will tie your work together throughout your career
Who are you?

Common and transliterated names“Estimates by China's Ministry of Public Security suggest that more than 1.1 billion people — around 85% of China's population — share just 129 surnames. Problems with abbreviations, ordering of given names and surnames and inconsistent journal practices heighten the confusion.”http://www.nature.com/news/2008/080213/full/451766a.html
Half of the population on the Korean peninsula share the three most common surnames (Kim, Lee, Park)P. Ghosh: International Business Times online, 15th Nov. 2013

The challenge
As a researcher, you want to• eliminate name ambiguity, distinguishing you from
other researchers and ensuring proper attribution.• ensure your work is discoverable and connected to
you throughout your career;• minimize the time you spend entering repetitive
data online
![Page 8: Research Bites | Your identity as a researcher - ORCID](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061204/547fb97eb4af9fb2618b4c16/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
A solution?
• Open Researcher & Contributor ID• Unique, persistent identifier for researchers &
scholars• Free to researchers• Can be used throughout one’s career, across
professional activities, disciplines, nations & languages
• Maintains a registry
![Page 10: Research Bites | Your identity as a researcher - ORCID](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061204/547fb97eb4af9fb2618b4c16/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Register, link, use
Register: Names including in other characters
Link works: automatically using the import features, and manually if necessary
Add info:Other IDs,EducationEmployment…
Use ID: emails, profiles, publications, manuscript submissions, job applications, grant applications, datasets…

• IDs could be integrated into University systems, such as Research Information System, HR, Repository, REF
• More publishers could start to request an ORCID upon submission
Possible future applications

For benefits to be realized…
Researchers must claim
and use ORCID iDs
Research information processes
and systems must embed
ORCID iDs and link back
with the ORCID
Registry
