Know about ORCID
An ORCID ID stands for Open Researcher and Contributor ID. An ORCID ID is a major tool for researchers as it provides many benefits making it an essential part of their research journey. It provides the user with a unique number that will be used for the work on ORCID’s database.
It is a lifelong digital identifier; meaning that the work will always stay under the author’s name and can always be accessed, even if the author gets out of the field later on. It helps connect existing work from existing databases, so that the author has all his/her work in one place. It also helps in the peer review for researchers with one another.
ORCID helps the researcher’s works to get discovered. Along with having connections on ORCID, this helps the work spread within the research community.
