Everything you ever wanted know about ORCID. . . . but were afraid to ask ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is a nonprofit organization launched as a community effort to solve the name ambiguity problem in research and scholarly communications.1 Name ambiguity is a problem for several reasons: Shared names. More than one researcher—often in the same field and/or institution—may have the same name. In some countries this is a major problem. For example, in Korea, more than half the population share the same five last names. Different versions of a name. For example, the use of a full name versus initials. ORCID provides unique, persistent identifiers for researchers. What is ORCID (and what is it not)? Unlike a researcher profile system, CV system, research management system, or reporting interface, ORCID’s mission is to provide a registry of unique persistent identifiers for researchers. Researchers own their ORCID identifier and control what may be connected and the privacy settings on their account.
How’s it going?
