An ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is a free, unique, persistent identifier (PID) for individuals. ORCIDs help disambiguate and identify individual researchers and their scholarly output. Your ORCID, or ORCID iD, is a 16-digit number that is randomly assigned by the system upon registration. When talking about ORCID, oftentimes people are referring to both the ID number and the record or profile. These store automatic links to all your research, and links your research with you.
RegisterGet Your Unique ORCID Identifier Registration takes about 30 seconds. You will then have a unique URL to use with your research output. ORCIDs integrate with a variety of systems and are used in manuscript submission, grant application, and more.

Manage AffiliationsAllow NOAA to Manage Affiliations The NOAA Library will be able to update your affiliations to ensure they are linked correctly to NOAA organizational identifiers. Permissions may be revoked at any time by the researcher.
|
Update Your ProfileUpdate Your ORCID Profile Via Import ORCID supports ResearcherID, Datacite, Crossref, Google Scholar, and more. Or you can manually add contact information, education, employment, research, and peer review information directly on the ORCID site.
|
Having an ORCID can help you receive credit and recognition for your contributions, reduce time spent on administrative and reporting requirements, and maintain control over your record of contributions.
ORCIDs are utilized by a number of entities throughout the research lifecycle and across multiple systems allowing researchers to "Enter Once, Reuse Often"
You are able to control the visibility of your ORCID profile at any time, including control over the visibility of the information, and control over which trusted organizations and trusted individuals ("trusted parties") can access your record to read, write, or update your information. While your ORCID iD is always publicly visibly, you can adjust visibility of the other portions of your profile.
|
Public/Everyone
|
This means that your information can be viewed/accessed by anyone who visits orcid.org. |
|
Trusted Parties/Organizations
|
This information is restricted to those organizations that you have labeled as trusted parties (those you have granted permissions to). While most of the time this is for organizations, you are also able to grant permissions to trusted individuals. For more information about trusted individuals see ORCIDs how to on adding a trusted individual. |
|
Private
|
Information marked as private can only be seen by you or any trusted individuals (NOT organizations) that you have granted access to. This information is also used by ORCID for their algorithms when disambiguating persons. |
Publishers use ORCIDs to identify and link both authors and reviewers, to bring together name variations and works.
Typically a journal publication workflow will follow the steps below (depending on specific use cases):
A number of scholarly publishers have also begun to require authors provide an ORCID upon submission of a publication. Because ORCID supports a wide variety of work types, a growing number of publishers have opted to add the functionality including:
For more information on this initiative you can see the ORCID Open Letter: One Year On (2017).
