ORCiD stands for Open Researcher and Contributer iD: A persistent digital identifier for anyone working in academia.

ORCiD is a unique personal number that allows researchers to easily and automatically connect their research information across a wide range of online databases. You can think of ORCiD as the academic equivalent of your passport: It ensures other research systems and services know who you are and what you have done.
