What is an ORCID iD?
Answer
An ORCID iD is a unique researcher identifier which can be added to your research outputs to ensure that your work is easily distinguished from that of other researchers. Your ORCID profile is managed by you and can be linked to a range of information including publications, grants and employment history. Your ORCID iD stays with you throughout your career even if you change institutions. ORCID is becoming an international standard with over 1.5 million ORCID iDs registered worldwide.
At Queen Mary we recognise the benefits of an ORCID iD and recommend its use by our researchers.
