ORCiD听(Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is a persistent digital identifier which distinguishes every researcher from every other. This enables recognition of a particular researcher鈥檚 contributions to the literature, and is particularly important in cases of non-unique names, name changes, cultural differences in name order, and inconsistent abbreviations of names. Use ORCiD to ensure your research outputs are linked unambiguously to you.
