What is ORCID? |
An ORCID iD is a nonproprietary alphanumeric code that uniquely identifies an academic author. It is a 16-digit code, in the format: 0000-0000-0000-000X. Publishers use it to unambiguously attribute any published work to the correct authors. ORCID is a not-for-profit association of publishers and academic organizations that maintains the central registry of these personal identifiers (ORCID iDs) and associated public profiles for authors in academic publishing.
