ORCID (Open Researcher & Contributor ID) is a free, open, non-profit organization that aims to uniquely distinguish researchers from one another by providing a unique persistent digital identifier, an ORCID iD, that exists indefinitely. An ORCID iD disambiguates a researcher and their work, with the goal to ensure researchers get the proper credit for their research. Additionally, an ORCID Record is a unified collection of a researcher’s biography, publications, and additional information that can be imported into other systems, such as an NCBI SciENcv Biosketch, reducing the manual re-entry of the same information across multiple systems.
