To solve name ambiguity in scholarly communications
by creating a central registry of unique identifiers and an
open and transparent linking mechanism between
ORCID and other researcher IDs and research
orcid.org

ORCID provides:
✔ Plumbing for research information
✔ Tools to build trust in digital
information
orcid.org 3
Persistent digital identifiers to distinguish
researchers from each other
Member-built integrations enabling automated
links between researchers and their
activities/affiliations
A hub for machine-readable connections between
identifiers for organizations, funding, outputs, and
people

Researchers can
• create, edit and
maintain an
ORCID record
• for free of
charge
• control privacy
settings for
every item
