Getting an ORCID iD

Getting an ORCID iD is a simple process that will allow researchers the ability to distinguish themselves from others. 

Registering for an ORCID iD requires only a couple pieces of information:

  • First name
  • Last name (optional)
  • Primary email
  • Additional email (optional)
  • Password
  • Choose a visibility setting

After registering for an ORCID iD, get started by adding employment, education, qualifications, works, etc. to your profile to better ensure you receive appropriate credit for each of your works.
