Increase Your Scholarly Research Impact

What is an ORCID Identifier?

The Open Researcher Community ID (ORCID) is a unique digital identifier for researchers.

• It helps disambiguate authors with the same/similar names
• It connects all your scholarship in one place
• It is required by some grant organizations

How to get an ORCID identifier:

ORCIDs are free and take only a few moments to register.

Enhancing Your ORCID Account

Once you have your unique ORCID identifier, you can create a personal profile page where you can link all of your scholarship to your unique identifier:

• How to add works to your ORCID record 
• How to import a single work using the DOI
• How to add professional activities to your ORCID record

What Are DOIs?

Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs):

• DOIs are a type of persistent identifier used to uniquely identify digital objects like scholarly articles, chapters, or data sets. Try this one: https://doi.org/10.1109/5.771073 
• DOIs remain fixed over the lifetime of the digital object EVEN IF you later change the particular URL where your article is hosted.  Referring to an online document by its DOI provides more stable linking than simply using its URL.
• Publishers and repositories often assign DOIs to each of your publications for this reason.
