Obtain a researcher ID
Thoughts, tips and advice when applying for an ORCID ID.
ORCID - an author identification
An ORCID looks like this: 0000-0002-1346-1530
The purpose of ORCID is to create a global register with unique IDs in order to consistently identify researchers for publishers, research funders, higher education institutions and other research-related actors.
Benefits of an international researcher ID:
- An ID that follows you if you change your institution or name
- facilitate communication between the author and the publisher;
- communication between researchers and funders is facilitated in project applications and reporting

You should link your information in databases such as Scopus, Web of Science and PubMed with your ORCID ID.
Here's how:
Link your information from databases such as Scopus, Web of Science and PubMed by logging in to orcid.org. Your publications published before you acquired an ORCID will also receive the connection.
