ORCID’S VISION IS A WORLD WHERE ALL WHO

PARTICIPATE IN RESEARCH, SCHOLARSHIP, AND

INNOVATION ARE UNIQUELY IDENTIFIED AND

CONNECTED TO THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS AND

AFFILIATIONS ACROSS TIME, DISCIPLINES, AND

BORDERS.

WHAT IS ORCID?ORCID is an open, not-for-profit organization run by and for the research communityWe provide researchers with a unique identifier, an ORCID iD, that reliably and clearly connects them with their research contributions and affiliations

WHAT IS AN ORCID ID?• Unique and persistent

identifier• Register at orcid.org or on

referral from another site• 16-digit number • Expressed as HTTP URI:

http://orcid.org/0000-0001-2345-6789

• Compatible with ISO standard

Less than 30 secondsDuplicate filters

ORCID is just another profile site. I already have a

Research Gate account and a Google Scholar Profile. I don’t

need this too.

It’s too hard to update. I signed up a few years ago

and it was really time consuming to add my

papers. I never went back.  

ORCID has a “big brother” feel to it. I’m not sure I like all this tracking of my activities.

ORCID is just a list of my papers and some data about

my work and education history. I already have an online CV. I don’t need an ORCID to keep

track of this.

Maintaining an ORCID account seems like one more time-consuming thing to do. I don’t see any benefit for me.

I changed my name several years ago and now all my profiles are totally messed up. There is no way ORCID

can fix this.

I don’t mind people seeing my publication history, but I’m not

sure I want everyone seeing my grants and other activities. It just doesn’t seem secure.

Everyone is asking me for an ORCID—my grant application,

my librarian, journal submission sites. These places

have nothing in common.

IDEAS FOR SPREADING THE WORD• Identify/work with champions• Pilot with small groups first• Top down AND bottom up

approach• Regular updates and reminders• Keep messaging relevant • Use straightforward language• Create collateral (or use ours)
