Experience greater ease as an increasing number of manuscript submission or grant application forms can be auto-populated when you log into their systems with your ORCID, like NIH Biosketch, ScienCV, CiênciaVitae, Portuguese FCT, and OJS.
Easily share your data between your record and an increasing number of funding, publications, data repositories, and other research workflows.
ORCID links all your research together, while you control the visibility of each piece of data. Set your visibility to public to increase your discoverability!
ORCID helps reduce the negative consequences of name changes so you will no longer be limited to the name you used when you began your career.
By allowing trusted organizations to add your research information to your ORCID record, you can spend more time conducting your research and less time managing it!
