Research Impact: Promoting and Measuring

ORCID, short for Open Researcher and Contributor ID is an international, not-for-profit organization and they maintain a registry of unique identifiers (iDs) for authors. Signing up for a ORCID iD will help you to disambiguate your research from others and help you retain authority over your work. Learn more about ORCID and their iDs with their brief video:

What is ORCID? from ORCID on Vimeo.

• It helps to alleviate the problem with ambiguity/misidentification in research.
• Some journals and funders actually require it during the submission process.
• It’s your digital name that stays with your forever, regardless of institution, name change due to life events or naming preferences.
• Connecting ORICD to GUFaculty360 will help to keep your publications up-to-date! Jump to GUFaculty360 box for instructions.
• A complete and up-to-date ORCID record can help to generate and populate your NIH Biosketch (through SciENcv). Jump to SciENcv box for instructions.
• It's free!
