What is an ORCID iD?

ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor iD) is a global non-profit organisation that provides a unique identifier for researchers to link their outputs with their research identity and get credit for their work.

Why should I get an ORCID iD?

 

  • Do you have a common name or use a different versions of your name when publishing? ORCID alleviates mistaken identity

  • Many publishers are now requiring ORCID iDs during publication submission
  • Funders such as ARC and NHMRC are requesting ORCID iDs to streamline the grant submission process

  • You can use your iD at every stage of your career, even if you change institutions​

 

What is a DOI?

  • so other researchers can more easily find, use, share and cite your work
  • it will increase your citations

  • reports, working papers
  • theses
  • conference papers, presentations and posters
